The Sarpy County Historical Museum protects, preserves, and promotes the rich history of Sarpy County. With the support of our patrons and community partners, we offer interesting programs and hands on learning experiences for both the young and old. The society has a long and proud tradition of working with community partners to preserve and promote the rich history of the area. We continually provide educational opportunities for the young and old in our community through our partnerships with local community schools, guided tours, and ongoing program offerings.
The Sarpy County Museum is currently accepting donations towards a new facility located in Papillion. This museum will house the Wimmer Collection, a multi-thousand piece Union Pacific collection, as well as Sarpy County history with space for rotating exhibits, a meeting space, larger admin offices, and a larger storage space.
- The society was first organized in 1934 and incorporated in 1953.
- The Wimmer Union Pacific Collection is one of the nation's preeminent railroad collections.
- The oldest still standing train depot in Nebraska is adjacent to the museum. It was built in 1869 and relocated to its present location in 1987.
