A Celebration of TR’s Day in Iowa and of Congressman John Fletcher Lacey of the Lacey Act (1900) and the Monuments & Antiquities Act (1906).

Before dawn, on Tuesday, April 28, 1903, TR departed Omaha, Nebraska by special train for a daylong tour of Iowa. He would make speeches, first in Shenandoah, then Clarinda, Sharpsburg, Van Wert, Osceola, two speeches in Des Moines, concluding in Oskaloosa and Ottumwa. Keokuk would have its turn the next day. Clear across the state in one day from west to east, and you can come along for the ride!
