Description

Lighthouses of the United States: Nebraska

The U.S. state of Nebraska is in the center of the country, far from the coasts. The Missouri River, flowing along the eastern border of Nebraska, is the only major navigable waterway touching either state. The Coast Guard maintains dozens of lights on the river, but as far as I know none of them qualify as lighthouses. The lighthouses on this page were built privately.

Note: to be listed in the Directory, a lighthouse must actually serve as an aid to navigation. This means it must be located on a navigable lake or river and must be lit as a navigational aid at least during the local boating season.

Special thanks to Ron Schooling for sharing his research on the lighthouses of Nebraska.

Omaha Lighthouse
* Glenn Cunningham Park
1990s (relocated here in 2009). Active; focal plane 34 ft (10.5 m); continuous white light. 22 ft (7 m) round steel tower with lantern, painted with red and white horizontal bands. Terry Schmidt has a photo, Stephen Wigg also has a photo, and Google has an aerial view. This lighthouse was first installed in downtown Omaha on the Lewis and Clark Riverwalk. Later removed from that location, it was stored for several years before being reinstalled as part of a reconstruction of Glenn Cunningham Park. Located at the marina, at the southeastern corner of the park, on the north side of Omaha. Site open, tower closed. Owner/site manager: City of Omaha (Glenn Cunningham Lake).
