Join us for a Ribbon Cutting celebration to recognize the grand opening of the new location of the Johnson County Historical Society!
The Johnson County Historical Society is committed to serving the public by furthering an appreciation of the historical and cultural heritage of the Johnson County community through education, preservation and interpretation.
The Johnson County Historical Society has had many locations since its founding in 1967. The Historical Society found a permanent home when a lease was signed for the Old Coralville Public School, a badly deteriorated two-story brick schoolhouse built in 1876. Restoration of the building began in 1977 and on July 4, 1983, the building opened to the public as the Johnson County Heritage Museum.
In 2006, the Historical Society moved to a temporary location at 860 Quarry Road in Coralville’s Iowa River Landing District. Then in 2021, the Historical Society moved to its final location, still in the Iowa River Landing, to the Xtream Arena, a highly accessible venue for concerts, family shows, and special events.
There will be free admission to the Johnson County Historical Society Museum, refreshments, and giveaways! Let's show some community love by attending the ribbon cutting and help them celebrate their new location! Register HERE.
