  • Durham Gets “In Focus” Ortraits Are, Literally and Figuratively, Reflections of Ourselves, and the Memorable Ones Have a Psimple, Yet Profound Universal Appeal
    OMAHA’S HOME TO HISTORY “The Enemy Within” Explores Terror on American Soil any American citizens either don’t remember or don’t know that September 11th was not the first Mtime Americans were threatened on their own soil. Americans have known and dealt with acts of terror since the founding days of the Republic and will continue to face those challenges in years ahead. Reminding Americans of this fact is the Durham Western Heritage Museum’s latest exhibit, The Enemy Within: Terror in America - 1776 to Today - a creation of Washington D.C.’s International Spy Museum™. From the Revolutionary War to the War on Terrorism, The Enemy Within provides unprecedented perspective into terror on American soil. Uncovering the forgotten stories of domestic terrorists, foreign agents, militant radicals, and saboteurs who have threatened America’s sense of security, the exhibit explores key questions: How do we identify who the enemy is? And how do we keep America safe without compromising the civil liberties upon which it was founded? Organized by Evergreen Exhibitions, The Enemy Within is divided into nine major themes: the country’s first hundred years, anarchist violence, labor movements, the Ku Klux Klan, world wars, communism, political violence, social violence, and security changes in a post-9/11 world. Each themed environment allows viewers to witness first-hand the terror and reactions of the government and public with the help of interactive displays, guest polling, artifacts, historical photos and film footage, video displays, and a timeline covering 170 acts of terror in America. The Enemy Within: Terror in America - 1776 to Today will be on display at the Durham Western Heritage Museum from September 8, 2007, to January 6, 2008.

SUE from Chicago’s Field Museum was more than 40 feet long and 13 feet tall at the hip. What made this T.rex even more special was the fact that it was nearly 90 percent complete, giving scientists a rare opportunity to more deeply study the biomechanics, movement and intellect of the “king of the tyrant lizards.” But wait…there’s a new man (or perhaps woman since we can’t really tell) on campus and in the words of University of Alberta paleontologist Scott Persons, it’s the “rex of all rexes.” Its name is Scotty and at an estimated 20,000 pounds, I guess you could say that it’s got some girth.

We committed ourselves to the old adage that “no stone would go unturned” in our efforts to effectively preserve one of the country’s finest examples of art deco architecture. If you’ve been to the museum recently, you may have noticed that we’ve gone beyond turning stones to removing a good portion of them. Rows of terra cotta bricks are being removed in order to replace corroded steel shelf angles with their stainless steel counterparts.

This past year was filled with many shining moments, beginning with the celebration of Union Station’s designation as a National Historic Landmark, and concluding with a nod to Nebraska’s Sesquicentennial. Nebraskans came together throughout the state to “honor our heritage, celebrate our growth and plan for the future.” The Durham was proud to be a part of that statewide effort and our plans for the year ahead pick up right where 2017 left off. We will continue to honor our heritage with several improvement projects aimed at safeguarding our community’s rich history and the stories housed within the walls of Union Station.
