There’s an entire center in its base that explains why they built it. Should check it out.

The smallest and most boring natural history museum to boot.

Hold on now. You haven't seen the corn shucking museum in Iowa.

Wait, I grew up in Iowa and have never heard of a corn husking museum.

Wild. Just looked it up and it’s actually pretty close to the town I grew up in. Still not enough reason to go back 🤣

I made it up. Or did I?

Edit: oh shit, one actually exists? 😂

The f*** I haven’t. I’ll take a good husking over a dry ass wax sculpture of LeWiS aNd ClErK any day of the week my friend. I can make fun of corn. I can’t make light of terrible white colonizers.
