American Gothic House Visitor

We had a wonderful time visiting the American Gothic House. The center was great and the staff wonderful. It made for a very enjoyable and memorable trip to Iowa.

Thank you for your hospitality during my visit on June 27, 2009. A gentleman staff member came outside to invite my dog, Gypsy, and I inside out of the heat. And a very enthusiastic lady staff member gave me a wealth of information and a tour. I plan to return when I have more time to take in all the center has to offer.

Now that we have returned home in England after our wonderful trip through USA and reviewing all the great things we saw and did we thought you might like the attached picture. If you are interested you can see an account of our travels on the following blog www.planetranger.com/pdmullen

We enjoyed our visit to your centre and when we returned to Chicago before flying home we visited the original 'American Gothic' in the Art Institute as you can see in our travel blog.

This was so much fun! The staff members were so so friendly and helpful. I've been wanting to drive out to Eldon and do this for years - what a delight that there's a visitor's center that makes it so easy and educational, too.

Hello to our friends in Elden, Iowa!

My girlfriend Melissa and I were visiting her family in Fairfield last week. When I heard that the "American Gothic" house was down the road we hopped in the car that afternoon and found this wonderful piece of Americana. We decided to put our own twist on the painting. I'm hoping Mr. Wood is smiling somewhere at our interpretation of his masterpiece! Thanks for being so friendly at the visitors center. Seeing the house was one of the highlights of our trip. Keep up the good work.

Warm regards,
Greg

Here are the pictures we took on our recent visit to The American Gothic House in Eldon, IA. It was nice to finally find it in Eldon and not in Ames or Anamosa.

My brother Jim, his wife Jeanne, and I really enjoyed our visit to the Gothic House Center in Eldon, and the young lady who showed us around was really quite nice. Great hospitality! I mentioned to her that my father, who had been the editor of the Ottumwa Courier, took a photo in front of the house back in the 70's which he included with their Christmas card that year. (Lewis and Virginia Debo of Ottumwa Iowa.) One of my aunts didn't understand the humor of it and said "why did they send it because they looked awfully sad'!

Here are some pictures that we took while visiting Eldon. We wish we could have seen inside the gift shop we stopped by at 4:45 pm and you were closed. Thank you to Eldon for keeping this icon in your town.
