Prairie Art boards due May 18
We’re giving you a little more time to let the paint dry on your “Roots & Wings” Prairie Art board! Boards are due back to either the Wallace House in Des Moines or the Wallace Farm near Orient on Wednesday, May 18. Boards will be displayed in the prairie at the Wallace Farm June 3 – October 1, dawn to dusk each day. Because of support from the Knock Family Charitable Fund, admission to the exhibit is free.
In need of your support
The garden fence at the Wallace House blew down during the December derecho. Help is needed to replace this historic feature. You can make a secure gift of any amount here.
COVID Response
The Wallace Centers of Iowa is monitoring CDC protocols and following its guidance. We ask that you not visit if you’re feeling sick or showing COVID symptoms. Together we can keep all our staff and guests safe and healthy.
