Viola Center was an unincorporated community in Audubon County, Iowa, in the United States.
[1] Formerly the site of the Viola Center Episcopal Methodist Church, a high school, a post office, a store, and a telephone exchange, Viola Center lost its post office in 1903, its high school in the 1950s, and the telephone company, store, and church.
The Viola Center Cemetery remains about 1 mile (1.6 km) north of the former community.
[4] The Viola Center Episcopal Methodist Church was built in 1887; before the building's construction, the congregation gathered locally.
[3] The church was home to many community gatherings, including an annual Christmas Tree program; in 1920, the Christmas Tree gathering at the church was "packed to its utmost capacity", according to the newspaper report in nearby Audubon.
