This traveling exhibit, created by the Old Capitol Museum at the University of Iowa, highlights the history of Germans in Iowa, discussing immigration, communities and politics. Yet the exhibit isn't only about the past; it uses the experience of Germans in Iowa to investigate pro- and anti-immigration sentiment, bilingualism and multiculturalism during times of national emergency.
