Tribute to Stone City

I spent the Labor Day weekend in the Wapsipinicon State Park near Anamosa, Iowa. This is just a few miles away from Stone City, where Grant Wood painted his rolling hills and stone buildings. This is where Grant Wood had his artist colony in 1933.

The first photo is the spectacular Anamosa State Penitentiary established in 1872. The second photo is a church in Stone City. The final picture is a mock up of the famous American Gothic home without the farmer and his daughter.
