Strike an American Gothic pose and take a photograph in front of the small white house made famous by Iowan Grant Wood, one of America’s most beloved artists.

Although not open to the public, visitors are welcome to view the house from the outside as Grant Wood did in 1930 when he was inspired by its unusual Gothic window. The State Historical Society of Iowa owns and preserves the American Gothic House. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
