Was really impressed with the cause. The amount of people who showed up to see something so historical. The amount of canned goods collected for the local food pantries was amazing. Lot of great causes behind the tour. Long line of people. Long wait. But meeting other people. Having fun. And finding out how far they came was a, blast.

Enjoyed being able to take a tour of Fort Madison Penitentiary . It is defiantly an important piece of Iowa history and should be preserved for future generations. With that being said I am hoping with continued high interest in the preservation that more areas will be opened in the future to view.Thank you to all involved that made this possible
