At the crossroads of the Missouri River and the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail, Omaha blends rich history with modern attractions.

Tree-lined trails and outdoor adventures abound in this picturesque town located on the Nebraska Plains. Many come for its world-renowned zoo, sporting events, and countless museums. The city gets its name from the Umoⁿhoⁿ (Omaha) people who have long called the area home and whose heritage remains central to its culture today.
