1st Annual Historic Preservation Awards

May is National Historic Preservation month. As the highlight of Preservation Month in Ottumwa, the Preservation awards will recognize the contributions of Ottumwans who have made a lasting impact on preserving buildings downtown. The event will feature a live musical performance by The Chickadees and Papa Zachy’s food truck will have smashburgers available for purchase. After the awards program, guests are encouraged to join Commission Chair Molly Naumann for a guided walking tour of the four historic buildings that surround Central Park: the Ottumwa Public Library, the Wapello County Courthouse, St. Mary’s Church and the Federal Building (City Hall).
