And pieces of their stories are still being uncovered. \nJoin archeologist Rob Bozell as we dig beneath the Omaha we know and explore thousands of years of human history revealed through archeological investigations. \nAncient Indigenous villages and mounds. French fur trade posts. Sunken steamboats. Forts. Old trails. \nEach discovery is another clue to the people who were here before us and the lives they lived. \nHow do we know these places existed? What can something buried for hundreds or even thousands of years tell us? And how much of Omaha’s story is still waiting beneath the surface? \nCome discover a side of local history you may have never seen before\, because sometimes you have to look down to understand what came before. \nSunday\, November 8 | 2:00 to 3:00 PM\nMetro Community College\nFort Omaha Campus\, Building 10\, Room 110 \nAbout the Speaker \nRob Bozell is an Omaha native with more than 45 years of experience as an archeologist\, including much of his career serving as Nebraska State Archeologist. His professional interests include past foodways\, Indigenous archeology of the past 2\,000 years\, and working with tribes on repatriation. \nHe has authored numerous technical reports\, journal articles\, book chapters\, and research monographs and\, in 2026\, coedited Below Nebraska: Archeology and Ancestors.

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 URL:https://douglascohistory.org/event/second-sunday-talks-15/ LOCATION:Metropolitan Community College\, Building 10\, Room 110\, 32nd and Sorenson Parkway\, Omaha\, NE\, 68111\, United States CATEGORIES:Second Sunday END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20261008T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20261008T203000 DTSTAMP:20260921T141703Z CREATED:20260915T211232Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260921T141703Z UID:10005078-1791486000-1791491400@douglascohistory.org SUMMARY:Fort Omaha After Dark DESCRIPTION:Fort Omaha After Dark\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n October 8th\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Details:\n \n \n \n \n \n October 8th 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM Meet in front of the Crook House Museum $30 per person (plus tax) \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nSome places grow quiet after dark.

What have they seen that they still cannot quite explain? And what stories continue to be passed along by those who know Fort Omaha best?\n\nThis is not a ghost hunt. Fort Omaha After Dark explores the paranormal through a historical lens\, weaving documented history and personal accounts together while experiencing Officers Row and the surrounding grounds in an entirely different way.\n\nSome stories will fascinate you. Some may surprise you. And a few might have you looking at those historic windows a little differently on the walk back. After Dark does not necessarily mean it will be completely dark outside. It is about experiencing Fort Omaha as evening settles over Officers Row and history\, atmosphere\, and the unexplained begin to intersect.\n\nThursday\, October 87:00 to 8:30 PM\n\nThis is an outdoor walking tour\, and guests will be on their feet for the full 90 minutes. Comfortable walking shoes are strongly recommended.\n\nTickets will go on sale Monday\, September 21st. \nOur previous Fort Omaha After Dark sold out quickly\, so grab yours before they disappear.\n\nHistory leaves traces.\nSome are easier to explain than others.\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Buy Tickets URL:https://douglascohistory.org/event/fort-omaha-after-dark-3/ LOCATION:General Crook House Museum\, 5730 N 30th St.\, Omaha\, NE\, 68111\, United States CATEGORIES:After Dark END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20261008T133000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20261008T160000 DTSTAMP:20261005T155824Z CREATED:20261005T155811Z LAST-MODIFIED:20261005T155824Z UID:10005113-1791466200-1791475200@douglascohistory.org SUMMARY:History & Appreciation of Antiques Class DESCRIPTION:History & Appreciation of Antiques\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Tuesday\, October 6th & Thursday\, October 8th\n \n \n \n \n \n Week 1 — Chamber Sets\nBefore indoor plumbing became commonplace\, the bedroom held a very different set of everyday necessities! \nJoin Pat Pixley for Week 1 of History & Appreciation of Antiques as she explores Chamber Sets.
