Hometown Tourist Outing to View Depression Era Murals in City Hall:

Step back in time and explore the captivating history of Cedar Rapids’ Depression Era Murals during our Hometown Tourist Outing.  Join us at 1:00pm at Horizons, 815 5^th St. SE, to view a video about the story behind the remarkable murals adorning the city council chambers and the artists who painted them.

Following the screening, we’ll carpool to City Hall to view the murals.  Led by Sean Ulmer, Executive Director of the CR Art Museum, we’ll learn more about these compelling images, the controversies that led to their being covered over for decades, and the unique cultural heritage they portray.

This is an Offsite event.  We will meet at Horizons, , 819 5^th St. SE (not far from Merch Hospital) by 1:00pm and go from there to City Hall.
