REMINDER
The research library continues to be open through the winter season, weather permitting. It is best to call before coming - 515-961-8085. The museum is also open, including the model train exhibit, but jackets are needed since the heat is kept lower. The Heritage Village will be closed until spring.

Martha and Ivan Richards Family recently donated several items to the
