Lace up your shoes and join us on Saturdays for a walking tour of historic downtown Omaha! All tours begin at 9AM at The Durham Museum and last roughly 90 minutes to 2 hours. Museum admission is included with your purchase, so be sure to make your way back to the museum at the end of your tour to see the latest exhibits or enjoy an ice cream from the Soda Fountain.
Tour theme: Urban Hike, River City: Trekking Through Omaha’s Changing Landscape
Omaha’s landscape has transformed across the centuries. Join us and explore what those changes have looked like and how they have shaped local history. This tour is for lovers of the outdoors, and includes a visit to the brand new Polina Gardens! One of three new walking tour themes offered in 2026!
Please note, this tour will begin at The Durham Museum and conclude at Lewis & Clark Landing. If parking at the museum, please plan ahead for your return journey.
Expect to see:
The former sites of the Lone Tree Ferry and other landmarks that led to Omaha being called the “Gateway to the West”
