Downtown Grinnell Walking Tour – History Pin overlays historical photos onto Google maps. There is a sliding bar along the top that will allow you to fade the photo in and out to alternate viewing the most recent Google map image and the historical photo. There is also text along the bottom that will tell you a bit about each stop along the walk!
