Stunning building! A true testament to the pride Cedar Rapids residents have for the valor of service. The Grant Wood Memorial Window is breathtakingly beautiful and the Friday tours are informative and fascinating. A cultural gem! ❤️

Came across this by accident, but definitely worth the visit. It's listed on Atlas Obscura's site for Weird Places To See in Cedar Rapids Iowa. Beautiful architecture and location.

Nice architecture, but the building only allows visitors by events or appointment. Might be due to covid but very disappointed we couldn't get inside when passing through town!

Little known facts: Aside from the building's notable history; the veteran's memorial; and the stained glass artwork donated by the Grant Wood, but they also host the local boxing club, VAM, and the Cedar Rapids Roller Girls roller derby team bouts. Great venue. As a co-owner of the DJ and Photo Booth service Absolute Music, it is wonderful to have an amazing event space coupled with a staff that is friendly and accommodating. Beautiful venue. Great for weddings. Here are some photos from this past weekend while we DJ'd there. Give Veterans Memorial Building a call for all of your elegant...

Don't think that I can say enough good things about this place. I had my wedding here last weekend and it was truly amazing. Nikee and her staff (Tony, Preston, Dennis) were all amazing! The staff helped in ways that I can't explain. They were accommodating, understanding and truly great people. The wedding was BEAUTIFUL and we received so many compliments on the venue and the staff was helpful in directing our guests. Vets Memorial truly went above and beyond and Nikee was the star of it all. She truly went to the moon and back for us, can't...

We had our wedding at Veterans Memorial Building, and it was perfect! The venue was everything we wanted and more. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful with set-up and tear down.

We couldn't have asked for a better...
