Ho Chunk Centre Atrium History Portraits: Store Merchants

Inside the atrium on the main floor of the Ho Chunk Centre in downtown Sioux City, Iowa are portraits depicting the history of Sioux City and surrounding area. These portraits were created from digital scan of hard copy photographs at the Sioux City Public Museum Research Center. The scans were then put through a software process to make them look like painted portraits and hung in the atrium of the Ho-Chunk Centre.

Grand Army of the Republic (G.A.R.) Sundial

During the 1938 Grand Army of the Republic encampment in Des Moines, Iowa this sundial was dedicated to the Union veterans.

Of the nearly three million Union soldiers who fought during the Civil War, only an estimated 5,000 were still living in 1938. More than 100 of these veterans attended the 72nd encampment and most were over 90 years old.

Drake University President and astronomy professor Dr. D. W. Morehouse installed and adjusted the timepiece.

The sundial is on display at the Iowa State Capitol Complex and is part of the Monuments and Memorials Tour.
