Sioux City History and Culture by Bicycle Part 164; New Sioux City Public Museum

Currently the Sioux City Public Museum is at the Peirce Mansion at 2901 Jackson St. Plans are moving forward for the new Sioux City Public Museum that will be at the J. C. Penny building in downtown Sioux City. On Sat. June 27, 2009 there was an open house that I attended. Right now the new Museum does not look like much and is in the pre-construction stage. Museum Director Steve Hansen to answer questions and give presentations on the progress of the new museum. Construction should begin in Sept. of 2009 and be near or at completetion in Aug. of 2010. As I have more info. I will post updates.
