Omaha

Omaha sits on the Missouri River in eastern Nebraska, where the broad waterway forms the boundary with Iowa. Downtown rises from the riverfront in a city shaped by railroads, meatpacking and the economy of the Great Plains. The Old Market preserves blocks of brick commercial buildings from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, now occupied by independent shops, galleries and restaurants. Union Station, an Art Deco landmark built in 1931, houses The Durham Museum and recalls Omaha’s place in American rail travel. The city is also home to Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium, noted for its large indoor habitats. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Omaha and eastern Nebraska.
