Special Collections Exhibit

A College. A Town. A Journey.

Grinnell in Grinnell

150 years ago, the college moved from Davenport to the recently established town of Grinnell. What has this move meant for the college and for the town? Using resources from the Department of Special Collections, and curated by Rachel Glass, ’09, this exhibition invites you to reflect on our history together, and on your own relationship with this place. Burling Library, first floor and lower level. The exhibition runs through December.
