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. 
Check out our website or contact us at museum@sarpymuseum.org or 402-292-1880.
Thank you for supporting local history!
