Omaha’s Parks and Boulevards – Virtual Lecture
Tuesday, September 29, 6:30-7:30PM
Did you know that Omaha, or “River City” developed a beautiful parks and boulevard system beginning in the late 1800s? In fact, much of this system remains today linking popular parks like Elmwood and Hanscom with gorgeous tree-lined streets such as Happy Hallow and Lincoln Boulevard. Explore the history of these wonderful Parks and Boulevards during our Virtual Lecture. Guests will also receive a special map of this popular route so they can set out on their own adventure with their new-found knowledge of the city!
