Iowa Travel Guide
Sitting close to the centre of the US, Iowa is a major producer of corn and soybeans with fields extending as far as the eye can see. Many hog farms also dot the countryside, a stark contrast to the state?s capital and largest metropolitan area Des Moines, with its vibrant nightlife and array of historical attractions. The city of Waterloo also features attractions such as the unique Silos and Smokestacks National Heritage Area, where visitors can learn the workings of a dairy farm. Those interested in history can choose from Sergeant Bluff in Sioux City, a spot visited by explorers Lewis and Clark; Wilder Memorial Museum, located in Strawberry Point; and Lidtke Mill Historical Site in Lime Springs, where you?ll see working steam turbines on the Iowa River.
