Maybe we need a companion thread to post all the things there are to offer in our state! We have museums that preserve Indian History in Iowa and there is a Quilt Museum in Kalona. We have tours of some of the most beautiful old churches. There are beautiful state parks! We have Geode just about 20 miles away from us and we spent alot of time there taking our kids fishing while they were growing up. I'm sure there is alot more but these are the ones in our area SE Iowa
We also have great colleges and great college football teams!
