Most kids tread lightly and look around warily when they first enter a museum. When the sixth graders from the Lansing, Iowa, Middle School walked into the River History Museum in Lansing, though, they were engaged right from the start. 
 

Our River History Museum displays highlights of early Lansing's development as a Mississippi River town including steam-boating, commercial fishing, the pearl button industry, and ice harvesting.
