Mormon Population
Mormons make up 1.45% of the population of Omaha. In the state of Nebraska there are 23,133 members in 4 stakes, 41 wards, 19 branches, 1 mission, and 1 temple located in Omaha.
LDS History
In August, approximately 2,500 saints set up camp at a place called Cutler’s Park on the west side of the Missouri in what is now Nebraska. This settlement lasted only a few months until the camp moved to the higher ground nearby that became known as Winter Quarters. Approximately 8,000 Latter-day Saints settled there between the fall of 1846 and the spring of 1848, when those who were not yet ready to go west moved back across the river to Kanesville, Iowa, and Winter Quarters reverted to the Omaha tribe.
Family Friendliness
In Omaha, you can explore and imagine, step into history, experience art in a whole new way. A walk on the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge is like walking on art suspended over the Missouri River. This one-of-a-kind 3,000 foot-long suspension bridge provides an almost air-borne experience. Stand in the middle, and you’ll be standing in both Nebraska and Iowa at the same time.
