Typed text: “An Ideal Site The site chosen for the Cody Pioneer Memorial Museum is ideal, both because of the ready availability to citizens of Omaha and because it is directly on the route of the heaviest tourist travel through Omaha. Another excellent qualification of this location is the character of the residence district surrounding it. Elmwood Park, a tract of 207 acres, is located on the border of the finest residence section of the city. It is perhaps one of the finest city parks in the Middle West, and popular with Omahans and visitors to Omaha because of its splendid recreational facilities – baseball diamonds, golf courses, tennis courts, children’s playgrounds, flower gardens, beautiful groves, natural springs, and unexcelled picnic facilities. The Lincoln Highway, most popular transcontinental route for tourists, passes the park on the north (as is shown in the accompanying diagram) and many thousands of tourists enjoy the excellent camping facilities in Omaha’s tourist camp in the southeast corner of Elmwood Park.”
