PhotoFiles: 100-plus years of Boys Town
Boys Town
Boys Town, founded by Rev. Edward J. Flanagan as an orphanage in 1917, has been a beacon of humanity in Nebraska for nearly 100 years. Today a town in its own right, the organization dedicated to the care of wayward children and families had humble beginnings as a house in downtown Omaha, run by Irish immigrant Flanagan, who wasn't even a citizen.
Journal Star file photo
Boys Town
The first home of Boys Town was this old brick residence at 25th and Dodge streets in Omaha. Flanagan brought his first five homeless boys there on Dec. 12, 1917, with a rent payment of $90 borrowed from a friend.

Boys Town
The first "Little Men of Boys Town" were these five children. Their names were not recorded, but the five were a mix of wards of the court and homeless newsboys from Omaha.

Boys Town quickly expanded. Flanagan took on more charges and was granted the help of some nuns from the local bishop. He moved his operations to this large residence on June 1, 1918.

Boys Town
In 1921, after a further swell in the number of his charges, Flanagan purchased Overlook Farm on the outskirts of Omaha and began setting up the Village of Boys Town. By the 1930s, he had hundreds of boys living at the site. The facilities are pictured on Nov. 28, 1939.

Boys Town continued to grow after Flanagan's death in 1948. From a single brick house in 1917, it would eventually become a town as its name suggested. Facilities pictured in December 1957.

You can judge the passage of time by the growth of the trees. The family-environment houses that were so visible in 1957 are obscured by foliage in 1990.

Boys Town is quite beautiful at ground level. It took years to cultivate, but the boys' work paid off with the Garden of the Bible, pictured in 1991.

It may have taken too long, but eventually Boys Town began accepting girls into its care. Pictured are the first five female graduates of Boys Town on May 27, 1983. Holding a picture of the original five boys of Boys Town, the girls are (from left) Cindy Koppenhaver, Jeanette Hoer, Joni Bachelor, Lisa Bordogna and Diana Luce.

Boys Town
Boys Town has an unofficial motto. You may have heard it paraphrased in an old Hollies song. It is "He ain't heavy, Father... he's my brother." It adorns the base of this now-famous statue at Boys Town and may have had its roots in a real incident involving Flanagan.
Journal Star file photo
Boys Town
The sculpture, quote and story surrounding them are supposedly inspired by the boys in this photo, taken in the early 1920s. The boy wearing leg braces was admitted to Boys Town in 1919. Because he had difficulty walking, other boys would often carry him around on their backs. They were all his "brothers." Supposedly, when Flanagan asked the boy carrying the other boy if he could bring a wheelchair for the younger, the older simply replied, "He ain't heavy, Father ... he's my brother."

Flanagan practices with his choral group at Boys Town in 1946, two years before his death. Music has been an important part of the curriculum at Boys Town from its inception.

More than music, the core of Boys Town's curriculum has always been teaching boys a trade and giving them a sense of self-reliance. These boys in 1954 load bales of hay from their own fields onto an elevator to store in their barn. The bales will eventually feed their livestock.

Boys Town has had its share of famous visitors throughout its history. Actors, athletes, politicians and others have shown up from time to time both to honor the work of Flanagan and to lift the spirits of the children at the home. Eleven-year-old James Gutierrez gets a lift from actor Gavin MacLeod as Boys Town Director Rev. Val Peter laughs in the background in 1987.

Part of the success of Boys Town's curriculum is the employment of "family teachers." The residents live in houses of 8-10 youths with their "family teachers" standing in for biological families. Each day, the students take part in a group evaluation of their performance at "home" and at school with their "family." Nadiyah Seraaj (right), a Muslim, was a family teacher at Boys Town with her husband, Abdul, in 1982. She and her charges listen as Abdul (not pictured) goes over the problems of the day.

Rev. Edward J. Flanagan was laid to rest in a shrine at the place he loved most, Boys Town. A new shrine was built around his tomb in 1976. Then-director Rev. Robert P. Hupp kneels at Flanagan's tomb to pray.

Boys Town
Nearly 100 years after its founding, Boys Town continues Flanagan's vision of offering a place for wayward children and orphans to find a sense of family, learn life skills and become contributing members of society. A crisp fall morning greets three Boys Town boys as they walk across the campus on their way to school in 1976. It's a scene that started in 1917, and one that is still playing out to this day.
