Bingen will celebrate its 100th birthday on Saturday. The city was incorporated on April 18, 1924. Bingen Mayor Catherine Kiewit says there was a long period between the planning of the city and its incorporation, with German settlers coming to the area in the 1890’s. Saturday’s birthday bash includes a Mayor’s Welcome that will include a time capsule reveal at 10 a.m. at the Society Hotel, a City Passport walk from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. in downtown Bingen, and a birthday party celebration from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. back at the Society Hotel.
