  While recently in Omaha we decide to visit Boystown and see how it had changed. To our surprise all the older buildings I remembered are still in use and as pristine as they were on our last visit 50 years ago.

  Okay place to go not really much to see. The Hall of History and Bible Garden are really the only places to see here.

  Beautiful campus but it was kind of creepy that the founder was buried in an above ground coffin inside of the main church. They have a beautiful garden there and fountain and a museum that lets you in on some old Nebraska history. Kind of fun.

  It was very fun and there were a lot of things to do... I loved the historic backround also. I suggest you drive through if you have the chance.

  There is so much to see in the works of this great place. To know that there is hope in the lives of the boys and girls that go thru there are astounding. Keep up the great work.

  Didn't tour whole place as was there with kids' H.S. Chorale group. What I saw and took part in was really nice. They do great work and where we went was very peaceful and had a nice vibe.

  Today was a return visit to this wonderful attraction that has served so many troubled or disadvantaged youth. The ground are attractive, the kids you meet are welcoming and polite, and you can stroll the grounds at your leisure. The museum in the visitor center is not to be missed. Make sure to send a few post cards from the full-service post office in the center.

  The museum was very well done. No parking fees or admission fees. Donations only. The cafeteria was closed when I visited. The stamps were an additional plus. The only disappointment was that Father Flanagan's home was closed. Staff at the gift shop was informative and kind.

  Boys Town is a wonderful, caring place for troubled kids. They do a wonderful job. Father Flanagan would be so proud of what Boys Town has become. It's all over the U.S. now and still growing.

  We toured Boys Town quite some time ago now. It was a self guided tour through the various buildings and grounds. As most know, it was founded by Father Flanigan back in the 20's. At that time is was to the west of town. As Omaha has grown, it is now within the city. Originally, is was only for troubled boys. Now, it includes girls. They do their own farming and sell vegetables twice a week in the summer months. They now have a Protestant chapel as well as the Catholic one. Much history here. They continue helping troubled youth. A very good work. We also purchased the movie with a good cast of characters and very well done.
