WELCOME TO ANOTHER SEASON OF
ARCHAEOLOGY ON THE ROAD!
The University of Iowa Office of the State Archaeologist (OSA) is delighted to
welcome RAGBRAI riders to Iowa and we’re pleased to share a few details of our
fascinating past as you ride across the state. We hope this booklet enhances your
enjoyment and helps you learn something new each day of your ride, from the ancient
site at Cherokee to the late 1800s lost town site of Bowen’s Prairie. Let us know if
you have questions or comments!
