Historic inn moved to Heritage Park in Iowa restoration bid
The inn existed before Iowa statehood and was relocated with help from landowners utilities and the Iowa Department of Transportation. The move closed portions of Highway 6 and removed power lines for safe passage to Heritage Park. The Heritage Foundation partnered with Goodwin House Moving to place the building, now awaiting fundraising for restoration to become a public museum.
