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.

Fort Omaha simply begins telling a different story. \nAs the sun sets behind historic Officers Row\, shadows stretch across the grounds of one of Omaha’s oldest and most storied landmarks. For more than 150 years\, Fort Omaha has witnessed military triumphs and tragedy\, welcomed generations of soldiers and officers\, and quietly collected stories that refuse to be forgotten. \nFor the very first time\, Douglas County Historical Society invites you to experience Fort Omaha After Dark\, a 90-minute paranormal walking tour led by Jamie Nestroyl of Midwest Paranormal History Tours. \nAs twilight settles in\, guests will journey through the historic campus uncovering mysterious accounts\, unexplained experiences\, and the lingering echoes of those who once called Fort Omaha home. Some stories are well documented. Others have been passed from one generation to the next. And some remain difficult to explain at all. \nThere’s something different about historic places after dark. The sounds change. The atmosphere shifts. And sometimes\, history feels just a little closer than it does in the daylight. \nThis is a walking tour\, so guests should expect to be on their feet for the duration of the event. Comfortable walking shoes are highly recommended. \nThursday\, August 13\n7:00 PM – 8:30 PM\n$30 per person (plus tax)\nSorry\, this is a sold out event \n*** TOUR STARTS ON THE FRONT PORCH OF THE CROOK HOUSE MUSEUM *** \nNewsletter subscribers will receive exclusive early access to tickets when they are released in our August 1 newsletter.

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 URL:https://douglascohistory.org/event/second-sunday-talks-14/ 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:20260916T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20260916T113000 DTSTAMP:20260624T170353Z CREATED:20260624T170353Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260624T170353Z UID:10004967-1789554600-1789558200@douglascohistory.org SUMMARY:Guild Book Club DESCRIPTION:Guild Book Club\n \n \n \n \n \n Discover the stories behind the history.

Rather than focusing on presidents\, generals\, and famous political leaders\, McMahon shines a light on twelve remarkable individuals whose actions influenced the course of American history from the Revolutionary era through the Civil Rights Movement. \nDrawing from extensive research and a gift for storytelling\, McMahon introduces readers to reformers\, educators\, activists\, laborers\, and everyday citizens who challenged injustice\, strengthened their communities\, and fought for a better future. Through their stories\, the book reveals how history is not made solely by those in positions of power\, but also by ordinary people willing to take extraordinary action when it matters most. \nAt its heart\, The Small and the Mighty is a celebration of perseverance\, civic responsibility\, and the often-overlooked individuals whose contributions continue to shape our lives today. It challenges readers to reconsider who we remember\, whose stories are told\, and how even seemingly small acts can leave a lasting mark on history. \nJoin us for a thoughtful discussion as we explore these inspiring stories and discover the profound impact that ordinary Americans have had on the nation’s journey.
