Architecture on Tap: Carter Lake

Joslyn Castle & Gardens presents Architecture on Tap, a celebration of the historic communities and people that make Omaha unique.

Architecture on Tap is a happy hour history hang-out happening Thursdays in July and August! Grab a beer from Infusion Brewing Company, explore historic Joslyn Castle, then settle in for a low-key lecture presented by a local expert.

Carter Lake…what’s the deal?! In 1877, the Missouri River changed course, leaving in its wake an oxbow lake. A little resort community sprung up along the banks of the new lake, and Iowa and Nebraska began a decades-long battle for ownership of the town.

Local historian and author Jim Fogarty of Legacy Preservation will guide us through the odd history of this small town, created by a fickle river and caught between two states.

Doors open to the public at 5:30pm, and presentations start at 6pm.

Space is limited! Registration is $10 and this is a 21+ event!
