SUMMARY:Second Sunday Talks
DESCRIPTION:Second Sunday Talks:\nThe Story of the Omaha Stockyards\nwith Gary Kastrick\n \nFor generations\, the Omaha Stockyards were more than a place where livestock was bought and sold\, they helped shape South Omaha\, fueled its incredible growth\, provided livelihoods for thousands of families\, and left an unmistakable mark on the city we know today. \nAt their height\, Omaha’s stockyards became the largest livestock market in the world. But behind that extraordinary rise is a much bigger story\, one filled with ambitious businessmen\, packing houses\, immigrant communities\, booming neighborhoods\, hard work\, and eventually\, dramatic change. \nJoin us for our October Second Sunday Talk as Gary Kastrick takes us into the fascinating history of the Omaha Stockyards and the community that grew up around them. Whether you remember the Stockyards yourself\, grew up hearing family stories about them\, or have always wondered about this enormous piece of Omaha’s past\, this is one you won’t want to miss! \nAbout the Speaker \nGary Kastrick is a retired South High School social studies teacher\, former Director of Project OMAHA\, Creighton University methods instructor\, and recognized expert on the history of South Omaha. During his 28 years at South High\, he helped develop Project OMAHA\, which created the nation’s first local history museum inside a school and was later recognized by Apple as one of the country’s top educational projects. \nA popular historian\, speaker\, and tour guide\, Gary has shared South Omaha’s history throughout the community and received numerous honors for his work in education and historic preservation\, including the Nebraska Historical Society’s James Olson Award\, UNO’s Community Service Award\, and induction into the South High School Alumni Association Hall of Fame in 2014. \nCome hear the story of an industry that didn’t just help build South Omaha\, it helped build Omaha. \nDCHS Members: FREE | Non-Members: $5 Suggested Donation \nRegister Now

SUMMARY:Second Sunday Talks
DESCRIPTION:The Broom Man: Honoring an Omaha Icon\nSecond Sunday Talk | Sunday\, September 13 | 2:00 PM\nMetro Community College – Fort Omaha CampusBuilding 10\, Room 110 \nSome people leave a mark on a city not through wealth or fame\, but through the way they treat others. Reverend Livingston Wills\, better known to generations of Omahans as “The Broom Man”\, was one of those people. \nFor decades\, Rev. Wills walked Omaha’s streets selling handcrafted brooms with an unwavering smile\, offering words of encouragement\, and reminding everyone he met of the value of hard work\, faith\, kindness\, and perseverance. His daily walks made him more than a familiar face\, they made him a beloved Omaha icon whose legacy continues to inspire today. \nJoin members of The Broom Man Committee as they share the remarkable story behind Reverend Wills’ life\, the vision that brought his legacy back into the spotlight\, and the journey to create the permanent bronze sculpture now standing in Turner Park. \nLearn why the late Marc Kraft\, former President of Broom Man LTD\, believed preserving Rev. Wills’ memory was so important: \n\n“Rev. Wills was a remarkable individual who crossed boundaries and brought people together with his simple message of hard work\, faith\, and kindness. By placing this beautiful sculpture in Turner Park\, we preserve his memory and inspire future generations to be good neighbors.” \n\nYou’ll also discover the thoughtful symbolism behind sculptor John Lajba’s design. Rather than placing Rev. Wills high upon a pedestal\, the sculpture stands directly on an old historic sidewalk\, allowing visitors to walk beside him just as countless Omahans once did. Positioned facing southeast at the corner of Farnam Street and Turner Boulevard\, the sculpture captures the familiar sight of Reverend Wills patiently waiting to cross the street\, a scene many longtime residents still remember. \nThis inspiring presentation is more than the story of a sculpture. It’s a celebration of an extraordinary man whose simple acts of kindness continue to remind us that one person truly can make a lasting difference in a community. \n📅 Sunday\, September 13🕑 2:00 PM📍 Metro Community College – Fort Omaha CampusBuilding 10\, Room 110 \nEveryone is welcome. Come celebrate the life\, legacy\, and enduring spirit of one of Omaha’s most cherished hometown heroes. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Second Sunday Talks: Shifting Borders
DESCRIPTION:  \nShifting Borders: The Battle for Carter Lake & Lake Manawa \nSunday\, August 9 | 2:00 PM\nMetro Community College\, Fort Omaha Campus\nBuilding 10\, Room 110 \n \nWhat happens when a river decides to change course? \nFor Iowa and Nebraska\, the answer was decades of legal battles\, disputed land claims\, and a border unlike any other in the nation. \nJoin us this August as historian Troy Stolp explores the fascinating story of Carter Lake and Lake Manawa\, two bodies of water created when the Missouri River dramatically altered its course in the late nineteenth century. What began as natural disasters quickly became a complex legal puzzle as the shifting river changed the very boundary between Iowa and Nebraska. \nToday\, Carter Lake remains one of the most unique communities in America. Although surrounded by Omaha\, it is officially part of Iowa. Meanwhile\, Lake Manawa emerged as one of the region’s most popular recreational destinations while attracting competing claims from both states. \nThrough historical research\, maps\, photographs\, and compelling stories\, Troy will unravel how floods\, geography\, politics\, and the courts combined to create one of the most unusual border disputes in American history. \nIf you’ve ever wondered why Carter Lake belongs to Iowa\, despite appearing to be part of Omaha\, this presentation is for you. \nSIGN UP \n\n					\n			\n				\n			\n			\n		 \n		\n			Troy Stolp is a Lewis Central High School graduate who has dedicated much of his academic and professional life to the study and preservation of local history. He holds a Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology and Religious Studies from Iowa State University\, a Bachelor of Arts in History from Buena Vista University\, and a Master of Arts in History from the University of Nebraska at Omaha. Troy serves on the Board of Directors for Preserve Council Bluffs and the Historical Society of Pottawattamie County and has been involved with the Council Bluffs Historic Preservation Commission. His experience also includes work with the Durham Museum\, where he further developed his passion for sharing regional history with the public. Known for his engaging presentations and deep knowledge of local history\, Troy brings a unique perspective to the stories that have shaped both sides of the Missouri River. Join us as we explore one of the most fascinating chapters in the history of Iowa\, Nebraska\, and the river that forever changed them both.

SUMMARY:Second Sunday: Omaha/Council Bluffs - The Steel Ties that Bind
DESCRIPTION:Note: The October presentation will be presented on the FIRST Sunday of the month.  \nOne single incident can change everything. 160 years ago the most significant thing to ever impact Omaha occurred: Abraham Lincoln issued an executive order designating Council Bluffs as eastern terminus of the transcontinental railroad. Council Bluffs? But why then were the first tracks\, headquarters\, and shops in Omaha? It’s a great story with sufficient skullduggery to make the activities of Bernie Madoff and Enron look pious by comparison\, and the two cities have been bound together by steel rails ever since. This program explains how the East ended… and where the West didn’t began. \nRICHARD WARNER serves as president of Preserve Council Bluffs\, an officer of the Historical Society of Pottawattamie County and vice-president of the Pottawattamie County Genealogical Society.  He has edited the Historical Society’s member publication for over thirty-five years\, co-authored four books about local history\, and written over a hundred articles on the subject.  Dr. Warner hosts the podcast “Accidentally Historic\,” produces the local history YouTube channel “Council Bluffs Revealed\,” and is an Iowa Governor’s Volunteer award recipient.  He is a graduate of Abraham Lincoln High School in Council Bluffs\, Creighton University (BS\, DDS) and UNO (MA). \nOctober 2 at 2:00 p.m. \nGross Auditorium at College of Saint Mary \nFree to DCHS members; $5 for non-members \nCall 402-455-9990 x102 for reservations or email admin@douglascohistory.org

SUMMARY:Second Sunday: Movie Media and the Metro
DESCRIPTION:Did you know Omaha was once a huge force in the Hollywood film industry? \nFEPCO and Modern Sound Pictures…names once common in the film industry that are now lost to time. For a large portion of the 20th century\, these Omaha-based companies dominated the industry that produced “movie papers\,” which was everything needed to successfully promote a Hollywood production. Both of these companies were early pioneers in their respective corners of the market\, and both were confronted by industry challenges including fickle audiences and evolving technology. What happened to these homegrown Hollywood titans? \nIn their talk Movie Media and the Metro\, Kelli Bello\, Firehouse Letterpress archivist\, will explain how Omaha became known as a major distribution hub of Hollywood film and promotional materials from the 1920s-1980s. She’ll share pieces from the shop’s extensive collection of vintage film and projection equipment\, press kits\, posters\, and letterpress advertising blocks. Shop owner Larry Richling will discuss how he managed to acquire such a rare collection and his plans to share it with the world. \nKelli Bello is the current Community Outreach Coordinator for Douglas County Historical Society. Prior to joining DCHS\, she spent 18 months learning the lost art of letterpress printing utilizing the film advertising blocks and antique printing presses in the Firehouse Letterpress collection. It was her personal connection to these pieces that led her to dig deeper into their origin. In her research\, a fascinating story with dynamic local characters unfolded. Prior to joining DCHS and the Firehouse Letterpress\, Kelli worked in non-profit development for Special Olympics Nebraska and the Joslyn Castle and Gardens\, where she currently serves on the board of directors. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Journalism from San Diego State University. She is originally from California\, but Kelli\, her husband Brian\, and their three daughters now call Omaha home. \nLarry Richling is the owner of the Firehouse Letterpress\, which was recently relocated to historic downtown Council Bluffs from the basement of Hollywood Candy. Larry grew up in Omaha\, and has been a life-long collector. He started his collecting with an interest in Pez candy dispensers….and now is the owner of thousands of the little machines. He is also a fan of vintage soda fountain and circus equipment and ephemera\, as well as all things Hollywood-related. He recently sold Hollywood Candy\, which he founded and owned for 13 years\, and is now focusing on his next dream of owning a vintage letterpress print shop. This allows him to share his massive collection of Hollywood advertising blocks and equipment with the public. Of course\, also in Firehouse Letterpress resides a soda fountain and a movie theater. Larry and his wife Mary recently moved to Council Bluffs\, and enjoy their winters at their home in Florida. \nSeptember 11 at 2:00 p.m. \nGross Auditorium at College of Saint Mary \nThis installment of Second Sunday is presented FREE to the public\, thanks to underwriting provided by the Dr. C.C. and Mabel Criss Memorial Foundation and Humanities Nebraska! \nCall 402-455-9990 x102 for reservations or email admin@douglascohistory.org \n

SUMMARY:Second Sunday: How to Study and Learn about the Battle of the Little Big Horn
DESCRIPTION:Turn out to learn about the Battle of the Little Big Horn from 7th Cavalry and Sioux\, Cheyenne\, and Arapahoe perspectives\, but more importantly how to study and learn about the Battle while also learning how to avoid falling into the traps of Battle myths. During Terry’s talk\, you’ll also gain an appreciation of many different perspectives of the times and theatre by learning about the tribes and people\, business and government interests\, and the sweeping\, rapid changes that took place while also learning about tactics\, conditions\, and harsh realities of those times and events that happened along the way to the road to the Battle of the Little Big Horn. \nOur presenter for today’s talk is Terry Oswald\, Omaha Westerner’s Corral and Little Big Horn Associates Member. Terry has been a student of the Battle of the Little Big Horn since happening upon the Battlefield by chance in 1991. Terry’s studies include visits to nearly every Battlefield and historic fort and site in the north central plains region\, study completed through the reading of more than 100 texts on the Battle and publication of nearly 75 summaries and views on the most respected and famous Battle texts. \nIn addition to being a decidedly hooked\, if not obsessed\, student of the Battle\, Terry also distinguished himself by being the organizer of the historic archive of the construction of the Nebraska State Capitol Building by creating the first plan and systems to organize that collection consisting of fabulous architectural models\, renderings\, and correspondence generated through the efforts of Architect Bertram Goodhue and many others.   Terry also boasts of having toured the famous Jules Sandoz Ranch with none other than Old Jules’ then 80-plus year-old daughter in 1995 named Flora who drove Terry across the ranch in her old pickup truck\, rifle bouncing on the floorboard\, sharing family stories and more as they crossed the rolling hills and sandhills prairie…as he visited Mari’s grave after traveling there on one of his iron ponies – a motorcycle which Terry uses oftentimes to visit sites as diverse as the grave of Chief Red Cloud to Devil’s Tower all while imagining what it must have been like to be in the unsettled west alone on a horse. \nJuly 10 at 2:00 p.m. \nGross Auditorium at College of Saint Mary \nFree to DCHS members; $5 for non-members \nCall 402-455-9990 for reservations or email members@douglascohistory.org
