It's in Burlington, Iowa.  It's about as far south and east as you can get and still stay in Iowa.

Looking good John, I like the magnet idea.

Looking good John, I like the magnet idea.

Thanks, I went with the magnet idea that the display could be rotated and interchangeable. Thus will give the musuem the flexibility to tell the story in different ways.
