  • Join us at the Sarpy County Museum for a special Author Talk with Scott Peck!
    Scott will be sharing insights from his new book, Against the Stream: How Manuel Lisa and Big Elk Survived the Floods of Change.
    This riveting true story brings to life the extraordinary alliance between Big Elk, Chief of the Omaha tribe, and Manuel Lisa, a daring fur trader navigating the shifting tides of the American frontier. Together, they faced war, epidemics, cultural upheaval, and the War of 1812—ultimately shaping the history of our region and the nation.
    Don’t miss this chance to hear the untold story of resilience, friendship, and sacrifice that echoes through Nebraska’s past.

The area that is now Sarpy County was a springboard for Nebraska’s settlement and expansion. It’s rich history ranges from local Native American tribes to Offutt Air Force base and the cities of Bellevue, Gretna, LaVista, Papillion, and Springfield. The Sarpy County Historical Society strives to protect, preserve, and promote the history of Sarpy County by overseeing the Sarpy County Museum, the Bellevue Log Cabin, the Bellevue Depot, and the Moses Merrill Mission site.
