Coming of Gov Lucas and Daughters to Iowa City
In September 1839 Governor Lucas and his two daughters visited Iowa City after riding from Bloomingen. They lodged at Matthew Teneick’s house, were greeted by General Fletcher, and held a reception in a boardinghouse sitting room. The visit sparked excitement as town residents learned details of Lucas’s land purchases and plans for a cornerstone ceremony later that year.
