State Historical Society of Iowa

The State Historical Society of Iowa puts Portland's stodgy Oregon Historical Society, with its brutalist architecture, baffling floor plan and limited public exhibits, to shame.

 

Iowa's impressive building has lovely galleries and public spaces. We enjoyed the current exhibit about Iowa during the Civil War.

 

Alas, the State Historical Society of Iowa is one of the very few things downtown Des Moines has going for it.
