Durham Museum

Durham Museum

The Durham Museum is dedicated to preserving and displaying the history of the United States' western region. The museum is housed in Omaha's former Union Station.

The station was donated to the City of Omaha in 1973 and two years later the Western Heritage Museum opened. The museum closed from 1995 to 1996 for a $22 million renovation project largely funded by Charles and Margre Durham.

For their contributions on the project, the Western Heritage Museum was renamed the Durham Western Heritage Museum the following year. On April 6, 2008 the Durham Western Heritage Museum became the Durham Museum.
