Historic Preservation Month
Latest News
This month, thousands of people around the country will join together to celebrate National Preservation Month. Sponsored by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the celebration's theme is "This Place Matters," an appropriate way to think about not only how much our hometowns mean to us, but also how their history--and their structures--have impacted our own lives. Think about it for a minute...can you imagine Ottumwa's downtown without the Wapello County Courthouse or City Hall...without the First National Bank building or--our own personal favorite--the library? All of these buildings are on the National Register's list of historic places. Now on display in the library's lobby--books that feature Ottumwa's history, its people and its buildings. Celebrate the unique architectural heritage that is Ottumwa...because this place truly does matter.
