Monuments in Iowa

America's first National Historic Landmark is a 100-foot tall obelisk and gravesite dedicated to the only casualty of the Lewis & Clark Expedition.

This massive railroad spike celebrates the 1939 premiere of the movie “Union Pacific.”

An obelisk commemorating Lincoln's role in connecting the coasts.

A giant pair of thick black glasses mark the tragic demise of a trio of rock and roll legends.

A place of great reverence for Trekkies everywhere, a hero's future birthplace.

The highest point in Iowa, while not that impressive to mountain states, has earned its own monuments.

Eight feet in diameter and more than 24 feet around.
