MAIN Arrow to Travel Travel Arrow to North America North America Arrow to North America USA Arrow to Iowa Tourist Attractions Iowa

iowa mapOnce a wilderness of grassy plains when French explorers Jacques Marquette and Louis Joliet visited in 1673, Iowa emerged as a U.S. territory as part of the Louisiana Purchase in 1803.

A half century later, Iowa was admitted as a state and has since grown to become known as the Corn State although it can claim to be the entire "breadbasket" for the U.S., producing over $10 billion in crops and livestock annually.

Today, the Iowa State Fair in Des Moines continues to draw a million people annually, along with year-round tourist attractions at the Amana Colonies, Bonaparte Riverfront District, the historic village at Kalona and the John Wayne Birthplace in Winterset.
