"In 1903, this Scottish Baronial-style mansion—with crow-stepped gables, crenellations, and small turrets–was completed as the 35-room private home of George and Sarah Joslyn. Today, the preserved building is on the list of National Historic Landmarks and operated by the state of Nebraska. In addition to public visits, “The Castle,” as it’s colloquially referred to, is available for private tours and events, from weddings to photoshoots to corporate dinners. Closest airport: Omaha Eppley Airfield Airport (OMA), 7 miles While you’re here: Downtown Omaha is brightened with murals of public art tucked into its distinct neighborhoods (like the Old Market and Aksarben Village)." - Jillian Dara
