Take a Trip Through History: An Exhibit of Images Since 1879

Presented by the North of Grand Neighborhood Association Sept. 3rd through Sept. 28th, Scottish Rite Park Art Gallery, located at 2909 Woodland Avenue Public hours: Weekdays, 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m.

The North of Grand Neighborhood is researching the people, infrastructure, businesses and churches of part of early Des Moines (between 31st and 42nd, and I-235 and Grand Avenue). Historically-rich neighborhoods encourage residents to take pride in where they live. This safe, affordable, tree-lined area is a desirable part of Des Moines due to its close proximity to Ingersoll shops, restaurants, the bus line, well-established churches, quality schools and historic architecture.

This project is a collaborative effort undertaken by the North of Grand Neighborhood Association and the Community Development Department at the City of Des Moines, and supported in part by the State Historical Society of Iowa, Historical Resource Development Program; Polk County; Drake University; private donations and volunteer resources. Thanks for supporting (we proudly believe) one of the most attractive, mixed-use neighborhoods in Iowa.
