Looking for a pleasant interlude on your journey between Omaha and Sioux City? A 10 minute jaunt off of I-29 is waiting for you with wonderful mounds of lavender to experience. The owners are delightful and the shop has truly lovely items. A place you will remember.

This isn't your typical visitor center. Outside features information boards about the Loess Hills and history about U.S. 30. Also, boasts of three Lincoln Highway markets, a large "map" showing the Lincoln Highway across Iowa and the U.S. Walk up a few stairs outside for a very cool overview of the valley and U.S. 30. For the adventurer, you can walk on an extensive walking path on the grounds. Don't miss the wooden culvert on display, and there's an interpretive area for children. A few historical buildings top off the outside attractions. Inside you'll see displays of pioneer wagons, history about the Lincoln Highway and you can watch a video about the Harrison County area. If you're needing brochures about destinations throughout Iowa, this is the place to go. Plan for nearly an hour at this site.

This antique mall is a gem in the rough. I went looking for a hurricane lamp, and ended up buying two. The prices were reasonable and the kind clerk even called the dealer for a better price. They have some 40 dealers, and the owner has set rules where items are at least 30 years old, no homemade, no garage sale junk. I told my friends and we"re making plans. They have everything from marbles to cedar chests, dressers, rockers quality older pieces made to last. I would highly recommend checking it out you wont be disappointed.
