A resolution honoring the Jordan House Museum for more than 180 years of historical service to the people of Iowa.
This resolution (HR 109) formally honors the Jordan House Museum in West Des Moines, Iowa, for its 180+ years of historical service. It recognizes the museum's significance as a preserved 1850 Victorian home, an Underground Railroad site led by abolitionist James C. Jordan, and a center for educating the public about African American, Indigenous, and early Iowa history. The resolution directs copies to be sent to Iowa's congressional delegation, local historical societies, and national institutions like the Smithsonian museums. It is purely ceremonial with no policy changes or direct impact on constituents.
