Around the Block: Omaha’s Neighborhoods in the 1930s | June 16-Aug. 19, 2012

Omaha began by the shore of the Missouri River with a handful of people. But less than a hundred years later it had become a city where thousands of people lived and worked. As Omaha grew, new neighborhoods joined the city, but each retained its separate identity and history. Around the Block: Omaha’s Neighborhoods in the 1930s was developed by two museum interns and includes 70 photographs drawn from the museum’s Photo Archive depicting downtown Omaha, Florence and Minne Lusa, Bemis Park, South Omaha, Dundee, Benson, the Gold Coast, and Kountze Park Place in the early 1900s. The photographs detail the people, culture, architecture, and history of these Omaha neighborhoods.
