There's more to history than memorizing a bunch of dates about wars, political controversies, kings and queens. The truth is history isn't made just by great leaders, but by everyone who has journeyed down the path to the present.
History becomes real when we see how we personally fit into it by exploring the real lives of the real people right here and discovering how our lives are interwoven into the fabric of it all. That’s why local history is so important.
And that's why we're here.
Welcome to the Council Bluffs History Gallery of the RailsWest Museum.
Welcome to your story.
