As hard as it is to believe, we’ve turned the page on another year! This annual ritual always brings a sense of great pride to all of us at The Durham Museum. 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. As many of you know, work on the museum’s exterior façade began last summer. We are looking forward to warmer weather so that we can get back to this important initiative. Inside, we are turning our attention to several areas within the permanent galleries beginning with the Native American display and the museum’s treasured train cars. Phase I for each of these projects will address much-needed restoration work and the physical replacement of the tipi in line with tribal traditions. We will continue the dialogue as the museum staff, its Board of Directors and community partners work to enhance our long-range institutional plan. We have an exciting future ahead and we are tremendously grateful to you – our members, volunteers and supporters – for all you bring to this remarkable institution. Speaking of which, we have one more thing to celebrate. This past year, we welcomed nearly 203,000 visitors, which is the 2nd highest annual attendance in the museum’s history. Just as exciting is the more than 7,800 households that are part of our member family. That is a new record! As the museum continues to grow and evolve, we are reminded that we are able to do this important work because of you. Thank you for supporting The Durham Museum. We look forward to welcoming you in the year ahead! With sincere appreciation, Christi Janssen Executive Director DurhamMuseum.org 1 PRESENTED BY NATIONAL TOURING SPONSORS SUPPORTED LOCALLY BY MEDIA SUPPORT PROVIDED BY John K. and Lynne D. Boyer Family Foundation SPECIAL SUPPORT PROVIDED BY Cox Communications Kutak Rock LLP 2 Timelines EXHIBIT ON DISPLAY FEBRUARY 17 – JULY 15, 2018 In the years leading up to World War II, racial segregation and discrimination were part of daily life for many in the United States. For most African Americans, even the most basic rights and services were fragmented or denied altogether. To be black was to know the limits of freedom—excluded from the very opportunity, equality and justice on which the country was founded. Yet, once World War II began, thousands of African Americans rushed to enlist, intent on serving the nation that treated them as second-class citizens. They were determined to fight to preserve the freedom that they themselves had been denied. Fighting for the Right to Fight: African American Experiences in WWII features artifacts, photographs and oral histories to highlight some of the extraordinary achievements and challenges of African Americans during World War II, both overseas and at home. It illustrates how hopes for securing equality inspired many to enlist, the discouraging reality of the segregated non-combat roles given to black recruits and the continuing fight for “Double Victory” that laid the groundwork for the modern Civil Rights Movement. Through a myriad of interactive experiences, visitors will discover the wartime stories of individual service members who took part in this journey of extraordinary challenge, from unheralded heroes to famous names, including Alex Haley (US Coast Guard); Sammy Davis, Jr. (US Army); Benjamin Davis, Jr. (US Army Air Forces); Medgar Evers (US Army) and more. The centerpiece of the exhibit is an original eight-minute video about the famed 332nd Fighter Group (better known as the Tuskegee Airmen), who in many ways became the public focus of African American participation during the war. Additionally, two medals are featured that represent the seven African Americans who were awarded the Medal of Honor in 1997, the bittersweet result of a long investigation by the US military on discriminatory policies in the awarding of combat medals. The exhibit will also provide in-depth coverage of lesser-known events and service, such as that of the USS Mason, the first American ship to have a predominately African American crew. Fighting for the Right to Fight was developed by The National WWII Museum of New Orleans, LA, and sponsored nationally by Abbott Downing and Wells Fargo. A national advisory committee, including the late Dr. Clement Alexander Price of Rutgers University, was commissioned to help frame the exhibition. The committee, led by co-chairs Dr. John Morrow of the University of Georgia and Claudine Brown of the Smithsonian Institution, helped advise on the exhibition’s narrative arc and content. DurhamMuseum.org 3 Fighting for the Right to Fight Programming You Are What You Eat: Setting the Table during the Second World War Online exhibition! Visit DurhamMuseum.org after February 17 to view this exhibit. Do you or your neighbors tend a vegetable garden? Do you know people who can their own preserves, follow "Meatless Mondays" or eat farm to table? During the Second World War, rationing ensured that enough food and supplies went to fighting men on the frontlines. At home, new solutions were created in the kitchen to support the need. The war brought changes to the Omaha kitchen, including many modern urban farming trends. While today this food-based activism is a lifestyle choice, these methods were made necessary in the 1940s by a war that rationed everything from sugar and butter to flour and meat. The war changed America’s diet and what you ate became a patriotic statement.

  • 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.
