North Omaha and Benson

Take a trip back in time in historic North Omaha. The Mormon Pioneer Cemetery is located on the site where the Mormons camped during their cross-country trek in the mid-1800s. Fort Omaha, originally built as a military post in 1878, is now the main campus for Metropolitan Community College. Straddling North Omaha and Downtown is Creighton University, a well-respected Jesuit university with medical, dental, law and liberal arts programs. Located along the river is Freedom Park, a naval/military museum with an impressive outdoor display of Second World War ships, submarines and military artifacts. N.P. Dodge Park offers picnicking, sports fields and a large Missouri River marina. Travel a bit west to the North Hills and you'll find wide-open spaces, grazing horses and frolicking deer. American Gramaphone, the recording label of GRAMMY® Award-winning musician and composer Chip Davis of Mannheim Steamroller, is located here. Right around the corner is Cunningham Lake, a favorite boating and fishing spot. If all this fresh air whets your appetite, swing by OJ's Cafe or the Surfside Club.
