There’s no denying the charm and character of a historic home. While there’s something to be said about the latest and greatest, older homes have stood the test of time. Not to mention, they are packed with thoughtful period touches, like brick fireplaces, built-ins, hardwood floors, clawfoot tubs, original trim and molding, sunrooms, and more.
There are several historic homes standing tall throughout the Omaha area, from properties in the heart of the city to some rural farmhouses on the outskirts of town, dating back as far as 1900. Let’s take a tour of some of our favorite historic homes in Omaha and surrounding areas!
