URBANDALE LIVING MAGAZINE!

PRESERVING URBANDALE'S STORY: Historical society celebrates 50 years of ensuring city’s past has a place in its future — Some communities preserve history in books. Urbandale preserves it in a house. Inside the Olmsted-Urban House, the past doesn’t feel distant. It lives in old yearbooks and kitchen cabinets, in vintage toys and family photographs, in the creak of floorboards and the stories shared by the people who have dedicated themselves to keeping local history alive.

Also in this issue:
• The comfort of a savory lasagna
• Haynes dedicates decades to keeping the city’s past alive
• Meet Dr. Deborah Bordenaro
