Architecture on Tap: Little Italy

Joslyn Castle & Gardens presents Architecture on Tap, a celebration of the historic communities and people that make Omaha unique.

Architecture on Tap is a happy hour history hang-out happening Thursdays in July! Grab a beer from Infusion Brewing Company in the historic Joslyn Castle Carriage House and then settle in for a low-key lecture presented by a local expert.

Our final stop on our tour of historic Omaha is Little Italy. Omaha's Little Italy is a historic neighborhoodsettled by Sicilian immigrants in the early 1900s, located south of the Old Market district. It became a thriving community known for its strong family ties, Italian businesses, and cultural traditions. While the area has changed over time, remnants of its Italian heritage, like restaurants and the Sons of Italy Hall, still exist.

We are thrilled to welcome a staple of the Little Italy community as our expert speaker. Louis Marcuzzo grew up in the neighborhood and is the longtime owner of Louie M’s Burger Lust. He comes from a long line of Little Italy business owners.

Architecture on Tap is presented in partnership with Humanities Nebraska and the Nebraska Cultural Endowment, Nebraska State Historical Society Foundation, Hanscom Park Studio, and Infusion Brewing Company.

Doors open to the public at 5:30pm, and presentations start at 6pm.

Space is limited! Registration is $10 and this is a 21+ event!
