When you think of an Iowa Welcome Center, you don’t think full-scale awesome history museum!

You could truly spend hours at the Harrison County Historical Village. There is a large exhibit on agriculture history, a peddlers wagon (something I had never seen before), a log cabin, schoolhouse, general store, and tons more!

This outdoor exhibit teaches how the Lincoln Hwy changed from a dirt road to a paved road.

A nice side-walk connects all the outdoor buildings, including the little houses you can see on the right in the picture.

This area was like a little play village for the kids. There was a side walk “road” which they could “drive” on.
