Glenn Miller
Don't forget the Glenn Miller Museum and Library in Clarinda. Well worth seeing if you love good music.

Field of Dreams outside of Dyersville. They are building a new John Wayne museum in Winterset right around the corner from his boyhood home. Jesse James robbed a train outside of Adair. The Barrow gang (Bonnie and Clyde) got shot up at the old Dexter Park which is in between Dexter and Redfield. Des Moines has the Salisbury House, Terrace Hill (Governor's Mansion), Botanical Gardens among other points of interest. There is the Knoxville Speedway. There is a clock museum up NE in the Calmar area. The ride along the Mississippi River is great in the Fall. Tama and Osceola have casinos. Don't know if George the Chili King Drive-in is still on Hickman in DsM. Mt Pleasant has all the steam engines. The old prison in Anamosa gives tours. Don't know if the rodeo is still in Shenadoah, which is also the hometown of the Everly Brothers. Bob Fellows museum is in Van Meter. The original Hy-Vee general store is in Beaconsfield.
That is about all I can think of right now.

I'm from Des Moinse and was there 2 years ago and at that time the Chili King Drive-in was still there and as good as always. I plan on making it back there on my new F3 in June, long ways from Idaho but need to break the F3 in somehow.
