Step back in time and explore one of Cedar Rapids’ oldest neighborhoods on this special anniversary walking tour of Kingston Village. Held on April 22, this guided experience commemorates the Annexation of Kingston Village to Cedar Rapids, when the once-independent community officially became part of the growing city.
Discover the people, businesses, and stories that shaped Kingston’s unique identity—from its early days as a bustling river town to its role in Cedar Rapids’ expansion.
