Experience early Iowa history at the home of Iowa’s first territorial governor, Robert Lucas. He built this seven-room Greek Revival house in 1844 using local materials.
Though it was once part of an 80-acre farm, it is now nestled in an Iowa City neighborhood and furnished by the National Society of Colonial Dames of America with authentic period artifacts common in 1844–1853.
