“Go west, young man, go west”: According to
legend, these famous words inspired Josiah
Bushnell Grinnell to leave New England and
eventually found the town of Grinnell on the
prairies of central Iowa. Although Grinnell has
a population of only about 10,000, it is a
community rich with history, architecture,
surrounded by areas of natural beauty and home
to one of the nation’s foremost liberal arts
colleges.
In Grinnell: Jewel of the Prairie, local photographer David Zeiss, has captured close to 100 beautiful scenes of Grinnell, Iowa, Grinnell College and the surrounding areas. These photos along with the accompanying tidbits of history will leave you wanting to explore this unique area and learn more about its fascinating history.
