TYPE OF WORK
Silos & Smokestacks National Heritage Area preserves and tells the
story of American agriculture and its global significance through
partnerships and activities that celebrate the land, people, and
communities of the area. Through the development of a network of sites,
programs and events in a 37 county region of Northeastern Iowa, Silos &
Smokestacks’ mission is to interpret farm life, agribusiness and rural
communities - past and present.
Silos & Smokestacks offers a variety of opportunities for educators and
youth. Ag-based lesson plans and primary resources are offered through
their website CampSilos, professional continuing education credits are
attainable through summer workshops and funding for field trips is
distributed through the bus grant program. They also offer grant
programs to help partner organizations in the region tell and preserve their
stories of American Agriculture.
Silos & Smokestacks National Heritage Area is eager to partner with
organizations that are fighting hunger in order to bring the stories of Iowa's
hunger fighters into area museums and draw attention to the relationships
between history, agriculture, and the present day fight against hunger.
