Mormon Trail Center
HISTORY THROUGH A ONE-OF-A-KIND BLEND OF MUSEUMS AND HISTORIC SITES. At Mormon Trail Center at Historic Winter Quarters, experience what it was like to live in a makeshift cabin, pull a handcart, and “travel” by covered wagon like families did during the great Mormon exodus of the 1800s. Optional guided tours; free admission. World-renowned Boys Town, a National Historic Landmark District, features chapels, statues and gardens, Hall of History museum, Father Flanagan’s House* and the visitors center – home to the world’s largest ball of stamps. Take the QR code tour using your smartphone for instant access to info and media of top attractions throughout the campus. Free admission. The Strategic Air Command & Aerospace Museum, a Smithsonian affiliate, is home to the nation’s largest collection of Cold War aircraft and artifacts. The 300,000 square foot attraction houses an impressive collection of prized and rarely displayed military aircraft, like the SR-71 Blackbird and nine bombers, like the B-36J “Peacemaker,” B-17 ‘Flying Fortress’ and B-1A “Lancer.” Kids especially will enjoy the flight simulator and Children’s Learning Center. Soak up Omaha’s rich jazz heritage at Love’s Jazz & Art Center, the region’s only African-American-based art center.
