Preservation partnership saves Cedar Rapids YMCA history
The History Center and the Cedar Rapids YMCA safeguarded Linn County history during a downtown demolition. Volunteers recovered artifacts, blueprints, and marble features while the YMCA gained access to preserved items for display. The joint effort kept historic treasures, including an 1888 cornerstone trowel and 1917 construction records, intact without delaying redevelopment.
