A mural depicting the city that would become Council Bluffs by a famed American painter will soon be back on display. "The Early Days of Kanesville" by "American Gothic" painter Grant Wood will be unveiled Friday evening during an event at the Hoff Family Arts & Culture Center. The painting, originally commissioned for the Chieftain Hotel and painted in 1927, will be displayed in the Richard & DeAnna Miller Grant Wood Gallery, according to a news release. 'It's finally home after 96 years, next to the 'Corn Room' mural," local historian Dick Miller said in a news release.
