The exhibit explores the architecture, people, and institutions still standing across rural Iowa. These serve as a record of what was, what is, and what is to come for a part of the country that has seemed to weather many storms - natural, demographic and cultural - over the past two centuries. These images continue to tell the story of determination to outlast the past.
