They call it the Great Lakes area of Iowa. My grandfather was one of 10 kids in his family. HIs father was the County Clerk. They have a brand new courthouse now. I couldn't find the old one where he most likely worked.Edie Hemingwayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15149247150580267924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137053657326446973.post-91455144117968171692017-08-23T10:28:57.665-04:002017-08-23T10:28:57.665-04:00Yes, that stature of Sacajawea was absolutely stun...Yes, that stature of Sacajawea was absolutely stunning!

What I like about blogging about vacations is it helps me see what the best parts were and let the rest go. I look forward to hearing more about the town of Spirit Lake where your Grandfather was from.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17103364860587388726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137053657326446973.post-28379401016891517082017-08-23T09:48:57.652-04:002017-08-23T09:48:57.652-04:00That statue of Sacajawea is so gorgeous!
