  • Teacher's Guide: Montauk Historic Site
    STATE HISTORICAL SOCIETY OF IOWA 600 E Locust St. Des Moines, IA 50319 [email protected] Teacher's Guide: Montauk Goal Through an on-site visit or through slides the student will experience the atmosphere of Montauk as a Victorian residence and understand William Larrabee's role in Iowa history. Objectives • Identify William Larrabee as an Iowa governor and progressive reformer • Look at the following aspects of Montauk: buildings and architecture, material culture, and the natural areas surrounding the site • Understand that while Montauk is a large elegant home, it is still rather modest, considering Governor Larrabee's social and economic status • Identify other Clermont sites: The Union Sunday School, the Clermont Museum, and the Larrabee's social and economic status • Develop an understanding of what daily life was like on an Iowa farm in the late 1800s Site Summary William Larrabee Born in Connecticut in 1832, William Larrabee moved to Iowa at the age of 21. He had little formal education, only completing the eighth grade. However, he was a lifelong self-learner. He worked as a teacher before becoming involved in land speculation. Eventually, he held business interests in banking, railroad, and coal industries. His public service began in 1867. He served 17 years in the Iowa legislature, then two terms as governor, from 1886 to 1890. Larrabee's progressive ideas put him at odds with his fellow Republican Party members. Among the causes he championed were woman suffrage, railroad regulations, and African- American rights. He held strong views on education, believing in tax-supported education for all students, and advocating the use of artifacts in the classroom.

    2/19/2020 Driftless Area - Wikipedia Visited 02/19/2020 Driftless Area The Driftless Area is a region in southwestern Wisconsin, southeastern Minnesota, northeastern Iowa, and the extreme northwestern corner of Illinois, of the American Midwest. The region escaped the flattening effects of glaciation during the last ice age and is consequently characterized by steep, forested ridges, deeply carved river valleys, and karst geology characterized by spring-fed waterfalls and cold-water trout streams. Ecologically, the Driftless Area's flora and fauna are more closely related to those of the Great Lakes region and New England than those of the broader Midwest and central Plains regions. Colloquially, the term includes the incised Paleozoic Plateau of southeastern Minnesota and northeastern Relief map showing primarily the [1] Iowa.
