TRACING BUSINESS,
FAMILY & ORGANIZATION HISTORIES
A Commemorative History Project of the Douglas County Historical
Society
The
Douglas County Historical Society is assembling information and
photographs of early Omaha families, businesses and
organizations.
If
you can trace your Omaha roots back to 1900 or earlier, we would
like to hear from you. Please complete the questions on the form below (click on the
blue box) and return as indicated to the Douglas County
Historical Society. Your responses will be a key resource as we
establish an “Early Settlers” Club and plan events and special
occasions to commemorate and record the very special stories of
our early families. Your record will be kept on file and
preserved for the future at the Historical Society’s Library
Archives Center and National Indian Wars Library, which has been
designated the official archive for our County history.
The Douglas
County Historical Society’s facilities are located at Fort Omaha, 30th
and Fort Streets, and include the General Crook House Museum, the
Library Archives Center and National Indian Wars Library, the Crook
House Victorian Heirloom Garden and Hitchcock Circle with the statue of
General George Crook, a Civil War and Indians Wars hero.
If you wish
to become an active part of these plans, please indicate that on your
information form and we will call you with dates of committee meetings.
Thank you
for your interest! And certainly thank you for your desire to preserve
the history of your family, business or organization – these stories and
experiences are to be treasured by our community!
