Throughout 2019, The Durham Museum and our many members, supporters and friends came together to create one of the most remarkable years in our organization’s history. In the months since this tremendous year came to an end, our world has changed. However, this annual report stands as a testament to the amazing things accomplished in 2019, the historic mission of the museum that continues despite the ongoing pandemic, and the promise of an even better museum experience just on the horizon.

The museum’s story starts and ends with the generous people who invest in our efforts to bring history to life. With your help, The Durham Museum hosted exciting and engaging exhibitions and programs that drew record crowds to . Together, we experienced prehistoric thrills, toe-tapping music and time-honored traditions, while we also wrestled with difficult questions from the past and modern challenges that continue to resonate and impact us today.

We also saw extraordinary projects take shape that will strengthen the museum’s ability to bring our community together in the years ahead. In 2019, we asked visitors to “pardon our mess” as we made major progress on the restoration of Union Station’s terra cotta exterior and we renovated the entrance to our popular traveling exhibition space with a modern, environmentally-controlled and visitor-friendly layout. These enhancements will serve families for generations to come, as will the list of other exciting preservation projects that took place in full view and behind the scenes.

As we endure this global challenge together, we hope you will reflect on the great progress The Durham Museum is making with your help. Your support and passion sustain the great exhibits, projects and programs that bring our community together year after year. We are grateful for your investment in our mission and proud to share the successes of 2019. We offer our sincere thanks for all you have done and continue to do to support Omaha’s home to history.

Sincerely,

Christi Janssen Executive Director

5 Throughout 2019, museum exhibits, programs and projects highlighted the YEAR IN history of our region and the world around us, offering opportunities to REVIEW educate, inspire and challenge assumptions along the way.

Our first major exhibition of 2019,American Democracy: A Great A second spring exhibition celebrated a historic milestone Leap of Faith from the Smithsonian Institution’s Traveling Exhibition in America’s railroad history. After Promontory: 150 Service, set the tone for the beginning of the year. Inspired by the new Years of Transcontinental Railroading from the Center for permanent exhibition of the same name at the National Museum of Railroad Photography & Art offered a visual history of the American History, American Democracy explored our country’s bold impact of railroading on our country’s landscape from experiment in a government “of, by, and for the people.” Featuring some of America’s most accomplished photographers. objects from the Smithsonian Institution, as well as, The Durham’s The exhibition served as inspiration for the On Track collection and other peer institutions from our region, the exhibition Guild’s Dining by Rail fundraising luncheon in support served as a catalyst for numerous museum programs. The Durham of The Durham later in the year, while the milestone partnered with Civic to provide resource materials to more anniversary inspired the museum’s first crowdfunding than 100 schools across the state, conducted virtual tours of the effort. Museum supporters, members, volunteers and fans exhibit and welcomed record numbers of students to the museum. The joined Union Pacific in supporting the revitalization of our museum also served as a regional host for the Smithsonian Institution’s National Command sleeper car. The car was unveiled on National Youth Summit, which engages middle school and high school May 10, 2019—150 years to the day of the completion of students in diving deeper into American history. the Transcontinental Railroad. 6 YEAR IN REVIEW Throughout the year, The Durham sought to engage history fans in new ways. The museum hosted its second major event for a 21 and over crowd, Flappers & Fizz, to celebrate Union Station’s Art Deco architecture. Later in the spring, we invited visitors behind the scenes as a continuation of our Museum Insider Tour series, which allows guests to view and explore the museum’s collection areas. The series was a big hit, with plans to continue it in the new year. The museum also continued to expand its student-focused initiatives. The Scholars in Residence series, a mainstay of The Durham’s educational programs, that brings national presenters to local students, continued with historical reenactors portraying George Washington Carver and first ladies Martha Washington and Abigail Adams. Through the Inclusive Museum Initiative, the museum partnered with Castelar Elementary to provide opportunities for programming not only at the museum, but at the school and virtually. This culminated in our first ever Family Night, exclusively for families from Castelar Elementary, many of whom had never visited the museum before. Over the course of the year, more than 49,000 students and adults experienced The Durham Museum through programs at the museum, off-site or virtually.

The summer saw prehistoric thrills come alive as the museum hosted Tyrannosaurs: Meet the Family from The Australian Museum. The centerpiece of the exhibition was “Scotty,” a cast of the largest Tyrannosaurus rex fossil ever unearthed, which was so large that the museum had to display the cast in our transformed exhibit workshop. The Durham complemented the display with a host of education programs, including a visit from Dr. Lindsay Zanno, Head of Paleontology at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences and leader of a research team that recently discovered a new species of Tyrannosaurus in the Utah mountains. Tyrannosaurs also served as the basis for a number of popular summer camp

YEAR IN REVIEW 7 programs, family activities, another 21 and over event and our first ever Back-to-School Bash, all of which combined to make the exhibition the highest attended summer display in The Durham’s history. Other events, including a special visit by crewmembers of the USS Omaha on Flag Day, plus annual traditions like Railroad Days, Root Beer Float Day and the River City History Tours connected audiences throughout our region and beyond to our community’s history and heritage.

Our third major exhibition of the year, RACE: Are We So Different?, explored the subject of race through the lens of history, biology and lived experience. The exhibition supported community-wide efforts to commemorate and reflect on the 100th anniversary of the lynching of Will Brown in Omaha in 1919. In presenting the exhibition, The Durham engaged an external advisory committee of leaders and scholars to advise on programming. The Durham also created an interactive exhibition within our permanent galleries called Lest We Forget, which explores the story of Will Brown through oral histories and reflections from advocacy leaders and experts from the Omaha community. The exhibition offers an important opportunity to facilitate dialogue, challenge assumptions and has served a range of visitors including students, teachers, families and adults – many of whom had never previously visited The Durham Museum.

In October, the museum debuted its final exhibition of the year, Louder Than Words: Rock, Power & Politics from the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Thematically organized by presidential administrations from Eisenhower to Trump, the exhibition featured a range of artifacts and stories to shed insight into how politics and music are bound together and served as a fantastic complement to RACE. Highlights of the exhibition included original handwritten lyrics from Bob Dylan, Chuck Berry, Neil Young and Bruce Springsteen, as well as numerous stage

8 costumes, clothes and musical instruments from every genre and political era. Late in the month, the museum welcomed over 5,000 visitors for a greatly expanded slate of Halloween activities, including the perennially popular Great Hall-oween Haunt as well as new events exploring the spooky side of Union Station, such as History Mystery, an event for adults.

The year came to an end with the highly popular Christmas at Union Station season, which again saw nearly 50,000 visitors between Thanksgiving and the New Year. A week before festivities began, the museum hosted its annual Sentimental Journey gala with Honorary Chairs Diane and Harlan Falk. The event celebrated the many ways our community came together to solve problems and make Omaha a better place to live. We said goodbye to the 2010s and welcomed the 2020s with another wildly successful Noon Year’s Eve celebration with over 2,400 revelers filling Union Station to see our signature balloon drop.

In addition to the wide range of exhibits and events that led to a record 220,000 visitors in 2019, The Durham also made progress behind the scenes. The first phase of the significant renovation of Union Station’s exterior was completed in late spring. The collections team reached the half-way point in a three-year effort to enhance the museum’s collection storage area and cataloged over 40,000 of our objects. Numerous new artifacts were accessioned into the museum collection, including a historic compilation of Aksarben racing memorabilia given by the estate of Kenny Rosen. Digitization of the Photo Archive continued, with more than 316,000 photographs now available to the public through our online portal at DurhamMuseum.org. Additionally, the museum worked with the Durham family to revitalize the entrance to our permanent exhibition space and launched a renovation effort for the Stanley and Dorothy Truhlsen Lecture Hall. The museum also began developing an institutional plan to guide its business operations, building preservation and visitor experience plans over the next decade, a process that will be finalized in 2021. Finally, we said thank you to four board members that completed their service to the museum, and welcomed four new members whose leadership – combined with the interest and support of the Omaha community – will help craft the next phase of The Durham Museum.

The Durham Family Foyer In October, the museum completed the Durham Family Foyer, which serves as the entrance to the museum’s featured exhibition galleries. The renovations to the space were made possible by the family foundations of John K. and Lynne Durham Boyer, Sunny Durham Lundgren, Steve and Barbara Durham and Debby Durham. Doors and walls were removed to create a brighter, more open environment, and new automatic sliding glass doors were installed at the gallery entrances to provide easy access for visitors while maintaining necessary climate controls within the exhibit space. The space also features a 16’ x 9’ video wall display with interactive capabilities. On the Move! In conjunction with the renovation of the Durham Family Foyer, The Durham moved its historic Benson streetcar from its position on the west end of the Trish and Dick Davidson Gallery to a new location just outside the Buffett Grocery store. To accomplish this, crews from Kiewit Corporation and the Waldinger Corporation placed the streetcar on air skates, and gently eased the several ton artifact to its new home.

Raleigh’s story served as the inspiration for the final movement of Transcend.

Helping Hands In the spring, many communities along the Missouri River were dealing with extreme flooding. To help, The Durham Museum teamed up with the Smithsonian Cultural Rescue Initiative to host free workshops providing information on how to preserve damaged personal heirlooms after natural disasters. As schools returned in August for the 2019-2020 school year, many of these communities were still dealing with the extreme flooding. In response, The Durham reached out to schools and adult care centers across the region, offering field trips and excursions to Union Station as the communities continued to rebuild. THE YEAR IN STORIES 17 The Durham Society was established to provide designated support to THE The Durham Museum and its cultural and educational programming. This diverse group is committed to raising the awareness of history’s DURHAM impact on our community and region. The Durham Society’s Heritage Circle ensures long-term financial sustainability for The Durham Museum SOCIETY and recognizes the vested interest of our generous contributors.
