If you love trains, you'll love this nice little rural museum, where they have five antique steam engines on display. The best part? They're actually fully functional! In addition, there's even the Frazee Automobile, the very first gas-powered car made in Iowa, which dates all the way back to 1901. It's the only one ever made, and really cool to see in person.
