Rob Hillesland Summit-Tribune Years of work by members of Forest City and surrounding communities â among others â has brought the vision of a northern Iowa military veterans museum to the brink of reality. It will be immersed in history from across North Iowa, but it will not be a typical museum that prior generations have known, officials said. âOur vision is we donât want a museum with just stuff and artifacts,â said executive board Chair Dave Kingland. âWe want to see interactive displays with video and sound. We want to tell the stories of men and women veterans from our area.â
