Bentonsport - a small Iowa
village on the Des Moines River was once an important port-of-call for
Des Moines River steamers. Tree-covered hills hem in the little valley in
which Bentonsport lies; and from Vernon, across the river, only the
spires of the two white churches and a few houses along the shore are
visible. At one time, the town had a population of over 500 residents.
Bentonsport
was thriving when the state of Iowa was born, and still retains the
atmosphere of years gone by. Mormon craftsmen, heading west, helped
construct some of its buildings; these and demonstration of historic
crafts-for-living help recreate the spirit of life as it was 150 years
ago.
You
can explore the ruins of old mills along the Des Moines River, stroll
across a century-old iron bridge, or just sit on the riverbank and
imagine the sight of a steamboat comin' round the bend.
