American Pickers...

Once we decided to head into Iowa, Tom wanted to visit the home of the American Pickers in LeClaire, IA, Antique Archeology. Two stores in one week. Sadly, the TV personalities were not in residence. But lots of cool stuff to see. And of course, a photo op...

Next it was on to the Buffalo Bill Museum. While the museum has a portion devoted to their favorite son, the majority of information was about regional history and life on the Mississippi. A steamboat display, memorabilia from LeClaire and of all things...













A display about the inventor of the flight recorder, James Ryan from the University of Minnesota in 1953. Also from LeClaire, IA. We loved the aviation reference. 

So many more interesting things to learn about America.

Can't wait.
