General Crook House

The General Crook House is a house museum in Fort Omaha that preserves the military history of the region. The two-story structure with a hipped roof displays furnishings from the 1880s throughout its rooms.

The building was constructed in 1879 as an administrative center for the western frontier region and played an important role in military history. It was later converted to a museum to document that era of expansion and settlement.

The house shows how military officers and their families lived during the frontier era. Its rooms reveal the daily routines and social customs of that period.

The museum is located on the Fort Omaha grounds and is open to visitors on weekdays and weekends. It is recommended to check ahead for any special tours or events that may be scheduled.

The house retained almost all of its original furnishings, making it a rare time capsule of that era. This well-preserved interior provides a direct window into daily life in the late 1800s.
