| To some, Keokuk's charm is found in its Victorian-Era architecture, its tree-lined avenues, the panoramic splendor of the majestic Mississippi River and a Main Street that still hosts pick up trucks, an occasional tractor, and homestyle cafes. To others, Keokuk is a town of 12,500 with a growing economy, a 700-student community college, a school district rivaling any in the nation, its own performing arts theatre, a center for Japanese-American cultural exchanges, a healthy industry mix and a burgeoning commercial district. Yet, in spite of such diversity and growth, Keokuk has done something that many towns fail to do. It has preserved the heart of the community -- downtown. In downtown Keokuk, you see all of the things that make Keokuk a great place to live. It speaks of home. It welcomes growth. It acknowledges the past, yet it looks toward the future. To preserve the city's center requires much effort and planning. We invite you to join Main Street Keokuk, Inc. in making our downtown, and the entire commercial business district, reflect the community we love. |
