Worth a trip? Yay or nay?
What are you looking for? I went nearly every year for a school field trip. So mostly same info over and over. Neat to see though!! I want to go on one of their event weekends and see the people dressed up and such.
If your in 5th grade and get to ride the bus and get out of school. Yes it's worth it. Grown adult? not so much. However the Machine Shed resturant right out in front is great though.
Go to Mingo, look around. Same effect.
Overrated, so keep your expectations in check. But one visit to learn a little about Iowa history wouldn't hurt you. Worth it.Quote:

I thought it was your childhood home.Quote:
