Great Plains Black History Museum — Exhibitions & Community Events

About This Opportunity

Located in North Omaha's historic Jewell Building at 2221 N 24th Street, the Great Plains Black History Museum preserves and exhibits the history and contributions of African Americans in the Great Plains region — history that is rarely taught in depth anywhere else. The museum hosts regular public events throughout 2026: an HBCU College Fair (February 21), a Black History Month Scavenger Hunt (February 22), a March on Washington Celebration (August 23), Fall Feast (October 11), Veterans Day recognition for African Americans who served (November 11), and Christmas in the Village (December 6). The museum sits in the center of North Omaha's historic 24th Street cultural corridor.
