Heartland Acres marks nine years as Independence tourism hub
Independence's Heartland Acres Agri Tourism Center celebrates nine years of operation and approaching 200000 visitors. The $7 million complex in Buchanan County spurred a nearby theater hotel and restaurant, drew school groups, tour buses, and birded in agricultural artifacts from early Iowa life. The facility now reports financial self sufficiency after Big Buds arrival in 2010 and ongoing outreach to museums and associations.
