A new historical building marker will be unveiled in Oskaloosa this week.  Ann Brouwer, who has led the building marker project, talks about the newest marker.

“We’re going to do the Oskaloosa Savings Bank Building, which was built originally in 1875.  It now houses the Book Vault.  We want to unveil this historical marker this coming Thursday at 6pm at the Book Vault.  And after that ceremony, we will be meeting in The Alley to have a celebration.  This marks the end of our ten historical markers that we committed to when my ad hoc group and I started this project.”

Brouwer says a great many volunteers researched the buildings’ histories…and community donations helped make the historical markers possible.  Again, the newest unveiling will be Thursday night (5/26) at 6 at the Book Vault in Oskaloosa.
