Explore the rich history of Central City, Iowa—one of Linn County’s most storied communities. This presentation takes a “Then & Now” look at the town’s evolution, from its early days as Clark’s Ford on the Wapsipinicon River to the thriving community we know today. Discover the fascinating stories behind landmarks like the historic Sawyer House, the State Bank, and the railroad that helped shape the town’s growth.   

Bring a sack lunch and we’ll provide the dessert.
