The tour also includes mesmerizing stories of early Omaha’s “Sporting District” (a much-frequented row of prostitution and gambling houses), the scene of a reported “mob hit,” and even the Douglas County Courthouse, the site of a race riot that ranks as the most shameful incident in Omaha’s history.
