As the story goes, it was July 4, 1854, when a group from Council Bluffs took the Lone Tree Ferry across the Missouri River for a picnic. It was here that the idea of a city was born, the idea that became Omaha. <\/p>\n

Usually the story fast forwards from that picnic in the untamed wilderness to the civilized metropolis of today, but what happened in between? Carrie Wieners Meyer, curator of the Durham Museum, will present “Omaha, the Early Years: A Photographic History, 1860-1930” at noon today in Room 4053 in the Sorrell Center. <\/p>\n

Come see some of the early and forgotten history of Omaha through images drawn from the Durham Museum’s photo archive. You’ll be transported back in time and see the fledgling city struggling and succeeding to become the civic center we enjoy today.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
