This episode is going to explore a main street older than Omaha with more history per block than any other neighborhood in Omaha! The old Florence Main Street is packed with old buildings, interesting characters and good stories worth sharing. Included here is an overview of Winter Quarters landmarks, memories of buildings that have been lost, and highlights of the exciting history still in the former City of Florence.
