Join us for a meaningful visit to the historic Veterans Memorial Building in downtown Cedar Rapids. We’ll begin with “Angels on the Window”—a 20-minute guided art discussion focused on the iconic Memorial Window created in 1928 by famed local artist Grant Wood. This stunning stained-glass tribute honors those who served and reflects themes of peace, sacrifice, and patriotism.
Following the talk, we’ll explore the building’s World War II Local Tribute Gallery and the traditional Memorial Room, which houses a remarkable collection of artifacts from the Civil War through World War I and beyond.
We'll conclude with a visit to the grand Ballroom at the top of the building, offering a breathtaking bird’s-eye view of the Cedar River and downtown Cedar Rapids. Don’t miss this unique blend of art, history, and community remembrance.
