Bring a dish to share and join us downstairs at the Grout Museum in the Mess Hall for our annual pot luck banquet as we welcome Dave Baker from the 29th State Facebook page to tell us about the ghost towns in Black Hawk County. “Through my Facebook site, web pages and live programs, I strive to bring Iowa’s past to those who might otherwise overlook it, and provide insight as to why learning our history is important”. He refers to his work as a celebration of Iowa history, heritage and architecture.
Baker is an Ankeny native who graduated from Central College in Pella with a degree in business and history. He currently works for Iowa State University, and in his spare time he is busy working as a writer, researcher and photographer.
