Omaha Public Library - Benson Branch

Have you ever wondered who lived in your home before you, or who designed that beautiful house you walk past every morning? Uncover those stories and more at the Benson Branch. Join local preservationist, historian and neighborhood resident Kristine Gerber for an interactive workshop and learn how to research the history of a home or building. During this engaging workshop, Gerber will walk participants step-by-step through how to research the history of a home or building using easily accessible sources such as historic land plats, Sanborn Fire Insurance maps, city directories, architectural surveys, newspaper archives and photographs. Attendees will leave with practical tools, research tips, and inspiration to begin—or deepen—their own discoveries.

The annual luminary event is a beautiful Country Club neighborhood tradition. Collectively, thousands of luminaries create a stunning, yet serene affect. With the luminaries highlighting the walkways and holiday lighting on the distinctive architecture, this event draws people from all over the area. Driving or walking the neighborhood is a fun way to experience the tranquil evening with other neighbors and residents. Luminary order forms are distributed near the time of the event.

The Country Club Historic District is a very popular place on Halloween. If you’ve not yet experienced a Country Club Halloween, you could be in for a scare (if you’re not prepared). The neighborhood comes alive with Trick-or-Treaters, so ensure you have plenty of candy if you wish to participate. It’s not unusual to have 400 visitors.
