Over the years, our family has enjoyed visiting time and time again, the John Deere Tractor & Engine Museum in Waterloo, Iowa. This museum has become a favorite destination for us, offering interactive displays, well-preserved artifacts, and engaging exhibits for all ages. Best of all, admission is free!
Yesterday, before attending a Silos & Smokestacks National Heritage Area Board of Trustees meeting in Waterloo, Iowa, I finally took the time to stop at a place I’ve driven by countless times - the Sullivan Brothers Iowa Veterans Museum. I’m so glad I did!
The museum is part of the Grout Museum District, which is a member of the Silos & Smokestacks National Heritage Area. This heritage area is a network of museums and historical sites in the Northeast quadrant of Iowa that collectively tell the story of Iowa and the heritage of American agriculture. It’s an honor for me to begin my term this year as a board member for such an impactful organization.
