Iowa to Welcome Ex Senator Harlan Statue Home
The bronze statue of former U.S. Senator James Harlan returns to Mount Pleasant and Iowa Wesleyan College after a 2011 swap in the National Statuary Hall. Gov Branstad and Lt Gov Reynolds plan to attend the Aug 28 unveiling, with Harlan’s body of work tied to Iowa Wesleyan’s history.
