(Sibley)– The State Historical Society’s mobile museum is touring several cities in Iowa this summer and currently is parked in Sibley.
Michael Morain (more-RAIN) of the Iowa Department of Cultural Affairs says it brings artifacts to Iowans who can’t make the trip to the State Historical Museum in Des Moines.
The current touring exhibit is focused on the people and places of Iowa. It includes some artifacts from the earliest inhabitants of Iowa and one of the flight suits astronaut Peggy Whitson, a native of Beaconsfield, Iowa, wore in space.
The mobile museum hit the road this summer, with the goal of stopping in each of Iowa’s 99 counties by the end of 2023. It will be in Okoboji September 3rd and Sheldon September 4th.
