About the event

Unlock the Hidden Stories of Downtown Ottumwa — Upstairs Downtown is Back!


Mark your calendars for Saturday, May 10, from 10am–2pm, and get ready to experience Downtown Ottumwa like never before.

For just $15, your ticket grants access to nine unique locations, each filled with history, charm, and character—many of which are rarely open to the public. You’ll pick up your map and event info at Ballingall Park (by the train depot) to start your self-paced walking tour.


New this year: Test your eye for detail in our BINGO-style scavenger hunt. Hunt for distinctive architectural features and turn in your completed card for a chance to win a prize.


Work up an appetite? Stop by Ballingall Park for lunch—local food trucks will be serving up tasty options from 10am-2pm.


The route is walkable, the event is family-friendly, and historical displays at each stop will help you step back in time.…
