The moment we’ve been anticipating since 2016 is finally here: the streetscape exhibit at the Wahl Museum, a part of the Kalona Historical Village, will officially be revealed next week.
The invitation-only ribbon cutting will take place Sunday, August 6. On Monday, August 7, from 4-7 p.m., the exhibit will open to members only, and on Tuesday, August 8, the exhibit will open to the public with admission or membership during normal business hours, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The streetscape exhibit depicts early 20th century Kalona nearly life-size. Meyers, Miller, and Manatt streets have been recreated with historically accurate storefronts filled with artifacts; some are enterable, such as the hardware and general stores. Drugstore, barber, creamery, undertaker – the range of businesses that that contributed to Kalona’s success are all brought to tactile life. More than something to see, it’s something to experience.
The Kalona Historical Village is located at 715 D Avenue, Kalona. (319) 656-3232.
