About Van Horne

Van Horne is a quiet, close-knit town in eastern Iowa with fewer than a thousand residents, offering a classic small-town feel within an easy drive of Cedar Rapids. Originally founded as a late-nineteenth-century railroad stop, the community grew alongside the surrounding farmland and has held onto its peaceful, rural character ever since.
