Iowa Masonic Library & Museum

The Iowa Masonic Library is recognized as the oldest special library in Iowa. Included in its collection are reports, transactions and papers of the Iowa Department of Agriculture, Horticultural Society and yearbooks of agriculture. The Library also maintains early records of the State Agricultural College, now Iowa State University. Recently added is the Harvey Collection of Landscape Architecture, a collection of books used by Professor Robert R. Harvey when he taught Landscape Architecture at Iowa State University. In 2015, a new accessible front entrance was completed to allow those with disabilities to use the Library and Museums.
