Event Information

Description

Join us for a screening of the Iowa Public Television documentary "Caucus Iowa: Journey to the Presidency," which showcases a political rite of passage more than four decades in the making. This yearlong project premiered in 2016 and shows how Iowa became the political epicenter and launching pad for the world's most powerful position, the president of the United States. The 50-minute documentary features interviews with political leaders from across the country as well as materials from the Archives of Iowa Broadcasting, a special collection at Wartburg College. Presented by IPTV and the State Historical Museum of Iowa, the event starts at 5:00 p.m. with a reception and brief guided tours of the museum's "First in the Nation" exhibit, continues with the screening at 6:00 p.m. and concludes with another exhibit tour at 7:15 p.m. Admission is free and open to the public.
