The Village of Boys Town
The Village of Boys Town, incorporated as a Nebraska municipality in 1936, has its own police and fire departments, schools, churches and ball fields - along with numerous historic venues. A National Historic Landmark since 1985, the Village of Boys Town is now the only National Historic Landmark District in Nebraska.
The Village also serves as Boys Town’s national headquarters, as well as the headquarters for Boys Town Nebraska/Iowa – the organization’s flagship region. The Boys Town National Research Hospital’s West Omaha facility is also located at the Village.
The best way to experience Boys Town’s spirit of healing and hope is to visit our historic Village. In this community of hope, boys and girls change their lives and prepare to go out into the world as confident people of good character.
One of Nebraska's top attractions, our beautiful campus is a living history of the dream of our founder, Father Edward Flanagan. Here, you can experience the breathtaking Dowd Chapel and Father Flanagan Tomb, and tour our Hall of History to discover how Boys Town has sparked a revolution in child care.
