  • Summary

  • In 1898, over 2 million people trekked to Omaha for the Trans-Mississippi and International Exposition. This was the first such event west of the Missouri River, and visitors saw the very latest in innovation, invention, and artistic expression, not to mention members of 35 native American tribes at the Indian Congress and a special performance of Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show. But was Omaha as ready to welcome these masses of visitors as it claimed? Join Durham Museum docent, Jean Johnson, as she explores the sights and sounds, successes and misadventures of Omaha’s own “world’s fair.”
