Local author and travel writer Megan Bannister will be signing copies of her newest book at the American Gothic House Center gift shop during Eldon's 2nd Annual Holiday Hop! "Some claim there’s nothing to see in flyover country. But take a closer look and you’ll discover that Iowa is home to more than just cornfields. In fact, across the Hawkeye State you’ll encounter hidden gems and secret spots abound...." In this book, she uncovers some of the state's wackiest attractions to guide your adventure around Iowa. Get ready for an off-beat road trip full of the state's best kept secrets! This is a come-and-go-as-you-please event. This book would make a great Christmas present!

We are a punch-card stop! While you are here, make an ornament to take home. Also, register for a gift basket drawing.

Admission will not be charged all day, but also note that costumes will not be available due to event activities.
