Omaha Attractions

 
Omaha, on the west bank of the Missouri, is the largest city in Nebraska. In the winter of 1846/47 the Mormons set up their winter quarters here on their way to the Salt Lake valley in Utah, and several hundreds of them died in the extreme cold. Omaha is the birthplace of one-time president Gerald Ford and black leader Malcolm X. The city has some interesting museums and cafés on the Old Market Place where it is pleasant to relax.
