TRACES Center for History and Culture in Mason City, Iowa, will bring its traveling history exhibit “At Home in the Heartland: Forgotten Stories of How Iowans Got to be Us” to the Morningside College campus from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on Sept. 20. The exhibit is free and open to the public.

The exhibit is housed in a “bus-eum” that will be parked in the college’s Garretson Lot at 3600 Garretson Ave., across from Eppley Auditorium.

In conjunction with the history exhibit, TRACES director Michael Luick-Thrams will present a lecture at noon in the Yockey Family Community Room inside Morningside’s Olsen Student Center, 3609 Peters Ave.

According to Luick-Thrams, the exhibit and lecture explore who Iowans are, how they got to be that way, how have they have changed – or not changed – over time, and how Iowans might change in the future.

The TRACES exhibit will have toured all 99 counties in Iowa between September 2015 and the November 2016 election.
