The History of Council Bluffs: First to Worst and Back Again
June 11 | 6:00 - 7:00 p.m.Looft Hall at Iowa Western
Looft Hall 23
At the turn of the 19th Century the Chamber of Commerce was saying Council Bluffs was unstoppable. By the middle of the century our Chamber president called us “The Appalachia of Iowa.” How could we go from first to worst in sixty years or less? It's a great story! The class ends on a positive note as we talk about the Iowa West Foundation era and our new position as a growing center of cultural enlightenment and a great place to live!
Class taught by Richard Warner and Troy Stolp. Richard Warner serves as the president of the Historical Society of Pottawattamie County and vice president of the Pottawattamie County Genealogical Society. Troy Stolp serves on the board of directors of the Historical Society of Pottawattamie County.
