Southeast of downtown is a captivating area made up of two distinct neighborhoods, Czech Village and New Bohemia. Combined, the pair is known as The District. Straddling the river, this part of town was devastated by the Iowa flood of 2008, but the transformation since then has been astonishing. This is down to a not-for-profit organization, which ...

This sumptuous movie palace continues to be a performing arts hub for Cedar Rapids and Eastern Iowa, close to a century after it was built. Early Art Deco on the outside, the Paramount Theatre’s interior was modeled on Baroque palaces like Versailles. Although much of the decor was stripped in the 1970s, the sense of grandeur lives on. With supreme...
A perfect complement to the Cedar Rapids Museum of Art is the studio personally modified by Grant Wood in the early 1920s. This served as his studio from 1924 to 1935, and it was in the light-filled loft that the artist painted some of his most famous works, including American Gothic in 1930, but also Woman with Plants (1929) and Daughters of Revol...
