Northeast Iowa – Silos & Smokestacks National Heritage Area (SSNHA) is proud to welcome two new Partner Sites to the Heritage Area. There are now 112 Partner Sites designated to interpret and preserve their own unique part of America’s agricultural story in this 37-county region of Northeast Iowa. New Partner Sites include:
Strawberry Hill Farm & Garden, Strawberry Point
The 11-acre farm features a working dairy goat farm, along with a variety of other farm animals. Guided farm tours are offered year round and provide valuable learning experience about farm life in a fun and safe environment.

The museum provides exceptional exhibitions from national, regional and local artists; as well as programs and classes for people of all ages.
