Tomato Taste at Plum Grove
<p>The public is invited to sample tomatoes at the annual Tomato Taste at Plum Grove, hosted by the Master Gardeners of Johnson County. The Tomato Taste is a tribute to heritage tomatoes in Iowa’s long history with food.</p><p>Several varieties of heritage tomatoes will be sampled.</p><p>The historic residence was the home of Robert and Friendly Lucas, built in 1844. Robert served as the first governor of the Territory of Iowa from 1838 until 1841. Iowa was admitted to the Union as a state December 3, 1846.</p><p>After years of negotiating with the Johnson County Historical Society that cares for the property, longtime Master Gardener Betty Kelly launched the heritage garden in 1995 as the state planned Iowa’s Sesquicentennial. Kelly, who has researched the family including Friendly’s diaries and letters, and newspapers to identify what people were eating, says every effort is made to be authentic in the garden and for each tasting opportunity.</p><p>Master Gardeners plant and maintain several gardens at the historic property. Today, Plum Grove boasts three gardens: Kitchen Garden (1995), Flowers (1998), and a Wildflower Garden (2000).</p><p>This event is open to the public. <em>Suggested donation is $3.</em></p> 2020-02-06 16:00:00 -0600

The Pull of Horses on National and Local Histories and Identities
<p>Along with our ancestors, horses helped build Iowa City, the state, and the nation. In the process, they profoundly shaped human identities. This exhibition explores the physical and social impact of these huge, powerful animals by screening the original documentary film <em>The Pull of Horses in Urban American Performance, 1860-1920</em> at life-sized scale amid displays of local equine history. The exhibition contains glimpses of Iowa City town and campus life, as well as national equestrian culture – especially as multitudes of women took up the sport of riding and advocated for suffrage. Original and reproduction publications, photographs, artifacts, and ephemera from Special Collections at the University of Iowa Libraries, the State Historical Society of Iowa, and from private collections will share a sampling of stories about life alongside horses from Iowa City’s, and the nation’s, past. Curated by Kim Marra, PhD of the University of Iowa Departments of Theatre Arts and American Studies, and Mark Anderson of the Digital Scholarship & Publishing Studio at the University of Iowa Libraries.</p><p>Object guides describing the details of each item on display are available for visitors in the Main Library Gallery.</p><p><strong>Main Library Gallery Hours: </strong><br>Monday, Wednesday - Friday: 9:00am - 6:00pm<br>Tuesday: 9:00am - 8:00pm<br>Saturday- Sunday: 1:00pm - 5:00pm<br>Please visit <a href="http://www.lib.uiowa.edu/gallery/">http://www.lib.uiowa.edu/gallery/</a> for hours and holiday info.</p><p><em>Many thanks to our exhibit and event sponsors for their support: Friends of the University of Iowa Libraries, Arts and Humanities Initiative, the Obermann Center for Advanced Studies, the University of Iowa Theatre Arts Department, and the University of Iowa Department of American Studies.</em></p> 2020-01-28 17:00:00 -0600

Healing Conversations with Plants at Prairiewoods
<p>For millennia, humans have relied upon herbs and other plants for nourishment and healing. As food and medicine, plants are powerful allies. They fuel and heal our bodies, providing for our growth and well-being. If we are willing to listen carefully, they offer us wisdom and companionship as well. This exchange is not one-sided. As we tend to plants and their environs, we not only provide for their growth and well-being, but we also give them a bit of ourselves, too. Just as we exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide with plants, we also share wisdom and spiritual energy. By tending plants, we tend to the planet, fostering healing and growth for ourselves and the world. On the first Wednesday of each month, come to Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha) for a conversation with facilitator Carolyn Herbst Lewis, PhD. This conversation and hands-on learning series will showcase the healing potential of a medicinal plant. On April 1, the focus will be on lemon balm. We will explore its historic and current use and learn how to incorporate it into our own self-care regimen. We also will discuss the bigger lessons these healing plants offer as we seek a deeper connection between our spiritual journeys and the seasons of Earth, as well as the healing energy we might offer to the plants and the planet in exchange for the healing and wisdom they offer us. Carolyn Herbst Lewis founded Mamie's Way Herbs in order to share her passions for women's history, healing plants and Earth-centered spirituality. She has degrees from Ohio University and the University of California, Santa Barbara, and is a history professor at Grinnell College. She is a student of both the Rosemary Gladstar Science and Art of Herbalism Course and the Heartwood Foundation Course in Herbal Medicine, and she has traveled to England, Japan and India to learn more about traditional herbal medicine. The cost is $15 per class or $120 for the ten-month series. Registration and payment are required by the previous day. For more information or to register, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700.</p> 2020-02-08 19:30:00 -0600

Using Archaeology to Follow Meskwaki Leaders across Pre-Statehood Iowa
<p>Cindy Peterson shares the stories and artifacts that uncover the history of Meskwaki migrations in the early 1800s. She’ll use her 20+ years of research and first-hand experience in the field of archaeology to bring to life the culture, ideas, and implications of the Meskwaki’s migrations westward—moves that were sometimes chosen for themselves and other times imposed by the U.S. government under the pretense of political treaties.</p><p>The University of Iowa’s Office of the State Archaeologist (OSA) investigated several sites related to two important 1830s-1840s Meskwaki leaders: Chief Poweshiek and Chief Wacoshashe. Their villages moved from the Mississippi River to Rochester, Iowa City, the Coralville Reservoir, South Amana, the Skunk River, southwest Iowa, (possibly) Kansas, and finally, Tama County. While much remains to be discovered, a glimpse into village movements and layouts has been discerned through OSA’s archaeological work at trading posts, villages, winter camps, and a maple sugaring camp.</p><p>This event is free and open to the public.</p> 2020-02-06 14:30:00 -0600
