From the mid 1880s to 1915, "Worker's Cottages" were constructed in most sections of Omaha as housing for blue-collar families. Many of these unique one story and one and a half story homes still exist today. Go back nearly 100 years and peek into the attic, parlor, kitchen and bedroom of the museum's reproduced "Worker's Cottage."
Also in the following slide show is a reproduction of an English Tudor-Revival home in the Dundee district during the 1940s. Living in one of these homes meant prosperity. Items that reflect period technology and comforts of home are featured in this exhibit.
Enjoy a quick trip back in time...
