July 2, 2022Experience the History of Hope at Boys Town. Father Edward J. Flanagan purchased the Overlook Farm in 1921 and it became the new, permanent site of Boys Town. In the decades that followed, schools, churches and homes were built, and tens of thousands of young lives were transformed. Visit the Village of Boys Town, a National Historic Landmark District, and get an unforgettable glimpse into the history of an organization that has given new hope to so many at-risk children. Your day at Boys Town will include a guided, walk-thru tour of Dowd Memorial Chapel where Father Flanagan is entombed. You will be surrounded by the lovely Gothic architecture of the chapel, or what Father Flanagan liked to call
a prayer in stone.
Take a step back in time with a guided tour of Father Flanagan’s Historic Home where he lived for over a decade. In addition to his original living quarters, you will also be able to step into recreations of Father Flanagan’s office, the original chapel and dining room and more. Immerse yourself in the 100+ years of Boys Town history in the Hall of History Museum and hear our guides tell of Boys Town’s humble beginnings and how Father Flanagan’s mission is still being carried out today. Several exhibit stations will be set up throughout the museum where you can have a hands-on encounter with Boys Town history. The tour includes a boxed lunch and time for browsing the Gift Shop.
