Living history walking tour with Bob Campagna

The History Center of Cedar Rapids will be hosting a living history walking tour of downtown Mount Vernon Tuesday, Oct. 15, at 6 p.m.

Attendees are asked to meet at Abbe Creek Gallery, 105 First St. N.W., Mount Vernon.

Use your camera (or cell phone) to explore, photograph what you see, and make a personalized living history poster collage of your walking journey. A 13×19” with a choice of poster templates will be made available for you to “fill in the blanks” with your images.

Professional photographer Bob Campagna will guide you in this creative endeavor. This program helps you learn with purpose, both as a historian and as an artist.

You will learn camera functions as well as visual qualities to engage in this fun and informative activity. Walking Tours are sponsored by Cedar Rapids Bank & Trust.

Tickets are $5 for History Center members and $7 for the general public.
