Museums exist to preserve the cultural identity of people and places. The objects in their possession all have stories and sometimes those stories have many twists and turns. In this episode, Durham Collection Facilitator, Haiden Nelson will explore the story of one of these artifacts - a painting known as Black Bess. From tracking down the artist’s identity, to a misidentification as a world-famous artwork, to how it came to the museum, Black Bess’s story involves many of the who’s-who of Omaha history and still has a bit of mystery yet to be solved.

In 1898, over 2 million people trekked to Omaha for the Trans-Mississippi and International Exposition. This was the first such event west of the Missouri River, and visitors saw the very latest in innovation, invention, and artistic expression, not to mention members of 35 native American tribes at the Indian Congress and a special performance of Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show. But was Omaha as ready to welcome these masses of visitors as it claimed? Join Durham Museum docent, Jean Johnson, as she explores the sights and sounds, successes and misadventures of Omaha’s own “world’s fair.”

Explore the history of the station, how it was saved from the wrecking ball and its designation as a true national treasure.
