Ames History Museum
About this place
A history museum in Ames, Iowa, devoted to preserving and sharing the city's past. The museum displays rotating exhibits, including one called "We the People of Ames" that covers Civil War artifacts, presidential visits, military uniforms through the centuries, and stories of local people who made national contributions. Families can visit the restored Hoggatt School, built in 1861, where children can sit at period desks and handle slate tablets. The museum runs educational programs for school groups, offers public lectures from March to June, and hosts seasonal events including an ice cream social and old-fashioned Christmas celebration.
If you are a member here
A membership to Ames History Museum carries reciprocal admission, so the same card is worth free or discounted entry at other places in these programs.

- the full NARM list Art, history and cultural institutions. Not valid within 15 miles of here.
Reciprocal programs are built for travel and most exclude places close to the one where you hold your membership, so this is worth the most when you are away from home. How reciprocal memberships work
