Andover Band helps seed Congregational churches in Iowa
The 1843 formation of the Andover Band sent nine college trained ministers to Iowa to establish Congregational churches. They settled in towns from Keosauqua to Burlington and Muscatine, building a regional spiritual network, supporting education, temperance, and abolition, and founding Town College which later moved to Grinnell.
