John Wayne lived in Keokuk as a young boy for a short while ! Many years later, I attended the same grade school that he did ...pretty cool !! ( His birth name was Marion Morrison ! )
Nice job! But you missed Keokuk’s main attractions. Lock and Dam 19, the largest on the Mississippi River. And Keokuk National Cemetery the Second oldest in the Nation. Many Civil War Veterans buried there. Both North and South. Both places are worth your time if you ever get close enough again to drop by.
Up until now it's mostly been driving there and back in one day, now that I've recorded nearly everything within a three hour radius I've been staying in some hotels. In fact, I'm writing you from Paducah, Kentucky right now!
you missed Rand park and the statue of Chief Keokuk, Sac Indian chief for whom the town is named.

Amazing driving tour around Keokuk, IA. The small towns in the USA are so charming. Thank you for sharing👍👍
I liked in Keokuk briefly in 1984. Worked at the new Spurgeon's st the Keosippi Mall.
Havent been to Keokuk since 1996 but it looks the same
Love it! Left there when I was about 8 and love to watch videos...brings back memories! You drove past my grandparent's homes!
That's awesome! Thank you for watching.

Nice job. Are you doing day trips from Spfld, or are you overnighting in some of these locations?
