\n<\/TABLE>Founded on Dec. 12, 1917, in Omaha, by Irish immigrant Father Edward Flanagan, Boys Town is today a worldwide leader in the childcare field. <\/p>\n

In honor of 100 years of service to the Omaha community, The Durham Museum is proud to partner with the Boys Town Hall of History to present an exhibition detailing the organization’s history – from its inauspicious beginnings in a rundown mansion at 25th and Dodge streets with only five young boys, through the 1930s with a major motion picture production featuring its history, to today providing assistance to more than 2 million children and families each year. <\/p>\n

Join Boys Town Director of Community Programs, Tom Lynch, as he traces the development of this Omaha fixture over the past 100 years. The presentation will take place today at noon in the Sorrell Center, Room 2014.<\/p>\n

The event is offered through the Time Travelers program, which provides free museum admission for UNMC employees, students, and their immediate family with a valid identification badge, while also offering lectures, workshops and other events on the medical center campus.<\/p>\n ZWV BEE l <\/a><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
