Recommend for a family outing, a lover of art history, or just a quick weekend of fun!

There's learning activities for kids throughout, an opportunity to put costumes over your clothes as a photo opportunity in front of the house, and a neat little gift shop. I don't know if it's a place you visit more than once, but I'm so glad to have been! The $5 was worth it in my opinion and visiting in the spring was great as the have an extensive native plant garden that was in full bloom when we were there.

The grave site of Chief Wapello, as well as General Street and his family, are present in the park. The park is a small historical landmark in Agency, Iowa near the town of Eldon where my grandmother lived. It is an interesting visit for those who like to read and learn.
