2017 marks the 150th birthday of famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright. There’s no better way to celebrate his life than to head to Iowa, home to the only remaining hotel designed by the famed architect, Historic Park Inn Hotel <\/a>in Mason City, along with two other Wright-designed homes, the Stockman House<\/a> in Mason City and Cedar Rock<\/a> in Independence. The ultimate summer road trip through America’s heartland begins in the Hawkeye State. The Iowa Department of Transportation recently announced the designation of three new scenic byways to join Iowa’s growing list of iconic byways and historic trails. From standing atop a Mississippi River bluff to stepping into the world of American Gothic painter Grant Wood or retracing the footsteps of Lewis & Clark, each of Iowa’s byways highlights a unique feature of the state. Along the way, road trippers will not want to miss the state’s wacky roadside attractions, like the world’s largest bull<\/a>, tallest corn stalk, and largest strawberry<\/a>. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Time for that Iowa Road Trip - Active Travels<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Time for that Iowa Road Trip - Active Travels\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"2017 marks the 150th birthday of famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright.
