Des Moines A Century Ago Chosen Capitol Site Controversy
Des Moines and nearby towns figure in a 1846 to 1873 debate over Iowa’s capitol location. Monroe City was briefly named the site before laws changed and Des Moines prevailed. The cornerstone story notes a 1873 signature by a stonecutter and artifacts interred with the cornerstone. Waverly hosts a San Diego Watercolor Society exhibit at Wartburg College through Feb. 3 with 30 works on display from 94 selected pieces.
