Travel the Loess Hills Scenic Byway, step inside the iconic American Gothic House, hike through winding caves, and cross the High Trestle Trail Bridge high above the Des Moines River. Along the way, you’ll learn all about the Indigenous groups who were the first to call this land home, the impact of the Louisiana Purchase and the Black Hawk War, and how pioneer life helped shape the state’s steady spirit. We will explore Iowa’s rich prairie habitats and state symbols like the goldfinch and wild rose. As you dig into Iowa’s economy, you will see how agriculture, railroads, manufacturing, and biotechnology have made the state a leader in feeding and fueling the nation.
