Historic General Dodge House

Awarded the Council Bluffs "Cee Bee Ambassador 2012 Beautification Award"!

The Dodge House is proud to be a 2012 recipient of the Cee Bee Ambassadors Beautification Award, due to recent improvements on all three buildings and landscaping. We thank the Iowa West Foundation, the State Historical Society of Iowa, Historic Site Preservation Grant Program and the City of Council Bluffs for their financial contributions to the project. We were able to recreate a historic paint color scheme on the Dodge House, paint the Beresheim House and Carriage House, restore brick and stone on all three properties, repair damaged wood, rebuild wooden storm windows, and return the grounds of the Dodge House more closely to the way they were during Dodge's tenure in the home (1869-1916). This National Historic Landmark continues to shine as brightly as the day it was built by General Grenville Dodge.
