City of Cedar Rapids

Ushers Ferry Historic Village is a Cedar Rapids Parks and Recreation Department facility. This beautiful ten-acre site provides a venue for fun, family friendly activities that teach, promote, and build community from the historical perspective of a small Iowa town at the turn of the 20th century.

Consisting of nine ADA accessible, historic buildings (restored to the 1890-1910 time period) that are open to tour, the scenic village setting also features a gazebo, pavilion, modern restrooms and parking as well as the Ushers Ferry Lodge capable of hosting receptions, meetings and parties of up to 300 participants.

Corporate Events
Ushers Ferry is the perfect place to get away from it all without leaving town. The lodge is a 7240 foot modern event space that accommodates up to 300 people indoors. Large windows bring scenic views inside and a patio is available year-round that allows easy access to the yard for team building activities.

Corporate rentals are available Monday - Thursday, 8:00 a.m. - 10:00 p.m. for $550 per five-hour period. Additional hours are available for $125 each.
