I used to build forts with my buddies and call it “Boys Town”. It was a lot of fun reliving the experience of that build throughout my entire tour. It was a cool fort, too.

Wonderful visit. Part of the wonderful Boys Town campus.

Located on the Boys Town campus, the Hall of History is open daily and is free of charge to any and all guests. So many exhibits with such a varied nature, including part of an old Boys Town bus, helps visitors learn about the important history of this vital source of protection, help, and guidance for young boys and girls throughout the U.S. So many celebrities visited the Boys Town campus over the years and their contributions are often on display here including famous signed sports memorabilia and the Oscar won from the Boys Town movie from years ago. Take your time and wander through this incredible tribute to the history of the important institution.

A free museum on the Boystown campus. It is well worth visiting. It tells the history of Father Flanigan and Boystown.

Had heard of Boys Town all my life. It was great seeing and hearing about this very special place.

Amazing story preserved in detail. Recommends!

Life-long dream come true for me! Saw the Spencer Tracy and Mickey Rooney movie when I was 10 yrs old. Always wanted to see it for myself. Enjoyed every bit of the 2 days I spent here. All those who work with yourh need to come at least once.

Highly recommend getting a guided tour.

The museum is super interesting! Boys Town is a huge part of Omaha's identity and this was a very educational experience.

I worked for boys town a year and 3 months, it was ok until co-worker chose to use the N word,I told my manager, nothing happened so I put notice in,but the racist co-worker did not get fired.i take it as since he still working at BT their ok with that language, poor kids.

Very informative and interesting multimedia exhibits. Could have spent a lot more time reading, but we really enjoyed it.

A volunteer gave us a great tour of the hall of history. They have done incredible things at Boys Town and it was great to learn about it.

Home of the Worlds Largest Ball of Stamps! It's actually really incredible. If you feel like balling your eyes out visits the museum and listen to the audios. Heartbreaking but also heartwarming!

Great history tour and fabulous tour guide. Father Flanagans' mission & vision are a blessing to this entire world and all the lives he touched.

An amazing place for anyone who things Boystowns heyday was when the movie came out in 1939. They are doubling in size right now!

I have never visited, but I had to check out the pictures because my grandparents on my mom's side met while my grandma was a cook, and my grandpa was a maintenance man there. They married just 21 days after meeting each other.

Very inspiring work. "There are no bad boys.....just bad environments....". Never give up on anyone.

Inspiring!

A great way to learn about history!

Great place to find out about Boys Town!

Amazing

Went on the self guided tour. Was amazing to see the start up history of Boystown and where the future might lead. A must stop for a Nebraskan.

Great museum

Lovely place with all kind of memorabilia saved from the past

This Hall houses iconic memorabilia from Boys Town History. Definitely worth the visit!

What a great mission. Donate to this cause and see the hall of history and father Flanagan's home and the Chapel.

Hidden jewel for sure. You need to spend at least 1 hour here to appreciate all the history for this great organization. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and very gracious

Lots of interesting statues and cool displays with interesting stories.

Nice museum about the history of Boys Town. Several personal effects from Father Flanagan, as well as other. Freewill donations accepted.

Wonderful experience to learn about history of Boys Town and Father Flanagan. Very informative. Highly recommended

Lots to see & hear about

Amazing that they are so solvent that 97% of all money donated is used directly for the students of Boys town. Fantastic tours

I enjoyed the tour. The museum was very educational and inspiring.

Nice to see the places where I spent my High School years.

An interesting piece of Nebraska's history.

Enjoyable, very informative

This is a great place that makes learning the history of Boys Town fun! It is a must see for everyone!

I read and read and READ about boys town for a long time, falling in love with it's history, and when I was visiting Nebraska I was super excited to go visit this! As soon as I walked in with my nephews/cousins, the lady there said: "Don't touch ANYTHING." I was a little uncomfortable, but after only 5 minutes of walking around and admiring everything, I saw her stalking us. A young cousin was looking at something, and she ran over and whispered into his ear not to touch it. We left only in the middle of the whole thing. My grandmother went back in to talk to her, but I still felt terrible! I would suggest going only if she wasn't there.

Wonderful display of BT"s history and its mission

I hated it so much tbh never would go back

Everyone should visit this when in the area.

Since they changed their mission from an orphanage to dealing with troubled youth, I feel they have lost their direction. They recently sold all of their farmland and the equipment to maintain it. I kind of felt that teaching youngsters how to farm and to use their hands to actually do something was admirable.

Great history lessons

Impressive, very positive, 400 children

Great museum and grounds

Very interesting with lots of good info

Tours 10 & 2

Take the tour it is fantastic

This is my home. Of course it gets a rave review

Great place to visit if your rolling thru Nebraska and stopping in Omaha. Visit Dowd Chapel and stop and reflect for a moment the wonderful things Father Flanagan was able to do with 5 boys in 1917. Visit the Hall of History it will amaze you the lives changed by this Holy man.

Great tour. Interesting place
