The Weeping Water Museum Complex
Weeping Water, Nebraska

General, History, Historic House, Historical Society, Specialized

About thirty miles south of Omaha down Highway 50 and thirty miles east of Lincoln on Highway 34 exists something you might not expect in the small town of Weeping Water. It is the Weeping Water Valley Historical Society Museum Complex. For the size of the town, the museum really is a site to see. You can see displays on Native American Culture, frontier life, go visit a Doctor's Office form the late 1800's or see recreations of the Weeping Water's early buisnesses. If you want to do research the complex along with the local library offers plenty of that. There are plenty of old photo's, documents, and artifacts. The museum consists of four different buildings. Three of the buildings are a block off main street near the town's historic library.
