What We Do
The Sarpy County Museum strives to protect, preserve, and promote the history of Sarpy County. Sarpy County was a springboard for Nebraska's settlement and expansion. It's rich history ranges from local Native American tribes to the five modern cities you see today. These include Bellevue, Gretna, LaVista, Papillion, and Springfield as well as Offutt Air Force Base. With the support of our patrons and community partners, we offer educational programs, tours and hands on learning experiences for all ages.
Since opening in 1970, the museum has continued to accumulate historically significant items and documents. After more than 50 years, our collection has outgrown our space. To find out how you can support fundraising efforts for a new museum building check out our website or contact us at museum@sarpymuseum.org or 402-292-1880.
Thank you for supporting local history!
