Our Second Sunday Talks bring history to life through engaging, one-hour presentations featuring knowledgeable guest speakers and panel discussions, followed by an opportunity for questions and answers.

Past presentations have explored fascinating topics such as the Creighton family, Nebraska’s Civil War history, the Blackstone Hotel, and the historic Standing Bear v. Crook trial. Each month offers a new opportunity to discover the people, places, and stories that shaped our community.

Admission is free for DCHS members, with a $5 admission fee for non-members.
