This is a museum for history about Cedar Rapids. It is neat to visit at least once. The neat thing is the interactive tour. You sit in a wagon and drive looking at a large 3-panel screen. You drive through Cedar Rapids of yesterday. There is an informative movie about buildings downtown. They talk about how buildings were tore down to make way for new ones. How we need to preserve the past of these buildings. The one thing they don’t address is what building did they tear down to create this History Center?
Be sure to check their website to find out what the current exhibits are. $4 for adults/$3.25 seniors/$2 children. The price is reasonable.
They also have archives that are available as well.
