WHO WE ARE

Main Street West Branch is a non-profit volunteer-driven organization working through the combination of public, private, and commercial interests to strengthen our historic Main Street district for the benefit of our community as a whole.

​

We are proud to be accredited by Main Street Iowa and Main Street America. West Branch received its accreditation as a Main Street Community in June 2006 after the Friends of Historic West Branch raised more than $166,000 in pledges from the community to support revitalization and economic development through historic preservation of the community’s downtown district. Since then more than $5,000,000.00 has been invested in West Branch’s historic Main Street District.
