In March 2017, the South Omaha Museum opened at 2314 M Street. The museum, and its curator – former Omaha South High School social studies teacher Gary Kastrick (above) – celebrate South Omaha’s rich history which includes the meatpacking industry, Rosenblatt Stadium, and waves of immigrants from all over the world who came to live and work in the area.
