Throwback Thursday: View Looking Toward Union Depot
Happy #ThrowbackThursday from Nebraska Memories!
This week’s image features a view looking through fog and steam toward the Union train depot as seen from the Pacific Bridge in Omaha, Nebraska. It was taken on January 12, 1912 and the recorded temperature was -27.
This black and white photograph is published and owned by Omaha Public Library. The items in this collection include early Omaha-related maps dating from 1825 to 1922, as well as over 1,100 postcards and photographs of the Omaha area.
Check it out on the Nebraska Memories archive.

Throwback Thursday: Snow Sledding
Happy #ThrowbackThursday from Nebraska Memories!
This week’s #throwback is from the Nebraska Children’s Home Society collection on the Nebraska Memories archive. NCHS founders had a vision for a better future and believed that every child deserved a family. The agency has never charged fees for adoption services, and still today relies primarily on private donations to fund its services.
