Lamoni, IA Welcome Center

April 8, 2009, while on our way home from Oklahoma City, we stopped at the welcome center on Interstate 35, exit 4, near Lamoni.  We found this school, which had just recently been relocated there for preservation.  You can see work was in progress.

3/10/13 update:  Apparently this school was placed on its new foundation not long before we saw it.  On  3/8/13 we stopped here again, and learned that the school is from Lineville, IA, which is at the SE corner of Decatur county (their sign says "Linesville").  It was built in 1909.  Apparently it was restored at its old location and then moved to its current site, because photos of the move show it in its current condition.  There were three photos hanging on the wall, depicting this school in its original state:
