About Luther College Library Lawn
The Luther College Library Lawn—also known as the Preus Library Lawn on maps—is a versatile outdoor greenspace perched along the central campus greens. Situated at 700 College Drive, Decorah, IA 52101, this lawn overlooks a vibrant portion of the Luther College campus and sits adjacent to the Preus Library in the Bentdahl Commons area. It’s a favorite for community gatherings, student-led celebrations, and seasonal campus events. When you’re planning a visit or sneak in a show, think of Library Lawn as a flexible, accessible space that’s easy to reach and enjoy.
