X-Country Road Trip - Midwest Adventures
Here we go, the next part of my #2021 #roadtrip across America takes us through my MidWest #adventures. After leaving Kentucky, and the Land Between the Lakes, I made my way across the north to St.Louis, Missouri. Visited family in Jefferson City, (for the locals and Missourians, that's Jeff City, the Capital of Missouri. Then hopped up to Clarinda, Iowa birthplace of Glenn Miller, and home to some great military friends. I continued on through Nebraska where I felt like I would see Kevin Bacon from Footloose any moment, circa 1984, no such luck!
Here are my MidWest Adventures!

Glenn Miller Birthplace Home - Clarinda, Iowa
Glenn Miller Birthplace Home in Clarinda, Iowa.
“Alton Glenn Miller (March 1, 1904 – disappeared December 15, 1944) was an American big-band trombonist, arranger, composer, and bandleader in the swing era. He was the best-selling recording artist from 1939 to 1942, leading one of the best-known big bands. Miller's recordings include In the Mood, Moonlight Serenade, Pennsylvania 6-5000, Chattanooga Choo Choo, A String of Pearls, At Last, (I've Got a Gal In) Kalamazoo, American Patrol, Tuxedo Junction, Elmer's Tune, and Little Brown Jug. In just four years Glenn Miller scored 16 number-one records and 69 top ten hits—more than Elvis Presley (38 top 10s) and the Beatles (33 top 10s) did in their careers.
In 1942, Miller volunteered to join the US military to entertain troops during World War II, ending up with the US Army Air Forces. On December 15, 1944, while flying to Paris, Miller's aircraft disappeared in bad weather over the English Channel. He was posthumously awarded the Bronze Star Medal.”

The Birthplace of 4H - Orphan Train Story
The historic Goldenrod Schoolhouse in Clarinda, Iowa.
“The Goldenrod Schoolhouse is a historic building located in Clarinda, Iowa, United States. The 23-by-33-foot (7.0 by 10.1 m) one-room school was built in Fremont Township, northern Page County, in 1873. Jessie Field taught in the school at the turn of the 20th century. She initiated a school program here in March 1901 that eventually developed into the 4-H organization. The building served as part of the Page County rural school system until 1960. It was slated for demolition when it was saved and moved to the Page County Fairgrounds in Clarinda in 1965. It was near to the place that Jessie Field had held the first Boys Farm Camp and Camp of the Golden Maids in 1910 and 1911. The former school building was originally listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.
The land the old schoolhouse was located on was quite low and flooding and drainage had become a problem. Changes in the city's water system would have affected the area. The Nodaway Valley Historical Society had created a museum with a display of rural schools and the beginnings of 4-H near the fairgrounds. The Goldenrod Schoolhouse was moved to the museum in January 1993. Because of the move it was removed from the National Register in August 1993, and it was returned again the following year.”
THE PAGE COUNTY ORPHAN TRAIN STORY
“The greatest children’s migration in the history of the United States took place during the seventy-five years from 1854-1929. Orphan and impoverished children were transported from the overcrowded eastern cities to the vast midwestern farmlands. A young minister named Charles Loring Brace and the Children’s Aid Society of New York City pioneered the “placing out movement” which sought to place deserving, healthy orphans into nurturing farm homes. There they would be welcomed and given a good upbringing in a proper moral setting. The Society specified that the children were to be housed, fed, clothed, educated and given religious training. Clarinda and dozens of other Iowa towns shared dramatically in these remarkable events which became known as the “Orphan Trains.” Nearly 10,000 children found new homes in Iowa before the Depression and changing laws ended the migration.
Very little is known about the first Society placing out in this area. Willie “The Kid” Moran arrived in Clarinda in March of 1881. The 12 year old was placed with G.A. Miller where he worked on the farm for several years. Willie left the farm to travel in the far west, returning in 1897. Tragically, Willie spent the next seven years here in the State Hospital. His later life is unknown.
Sarah Hunt, (1894-1990) an Orphan Train Rider to Sidney, IA, in 1904, became the wife of Hal Maxwell and stepmother of Hollywood Actress Marilyn Maxwell. She was a Western Union Telegrapher in Clarinda for nineteen years.
An orphan train from the Children’s Aid Society came to Clarinda December 15, 1922 with a precious cargo of twelve sleepy children led by Miss Clara Comstock, the Society’s Agent for the state of Iowa. The Clarinda Herald reported that at the appointed time the children were taken to the Methodist Church to be introduced to an eager crowd. One little boy, asked why he came said “To find a momma.” Arthur Fields “was bundled up tightly to go to a home north of Clarinda,” to the Worley Smith home on North Twelfth Street where he found a new brother, Cecil, and was later adopted.
The Colowski brothers were fortunate to find homes. Alexander (1916-1988) was adopted into the Harry Douthit family and was called Alexander Douthit. Walter (1918-1950) was adopted by the Roy Beavers family. He was called Harold R. Beavers, became an army captain and was killed in Korea.
The placements of some of the other children were temporary and little is known about them:
Howard Blizzard (6) and Ethel Blizzard (12) went to the Armstrong home near Blanchard.
Byron Stevens to the Schoonover’s near Clearfield. Mary and Anna Brodie to the Hoyt home in Clarinda. James Leroy Smith to the Scroggs home in Clarinda. Carrie Adams to Roy Baker’s home west of Clarinda. Isabel and Harry Adams to the Swanson home east of Stanton.
In 1987 Mary Ellen Johnson, established the Orphan Train Heritage Society of America, Inc., to gather and preserve the stories of orphan train riders nationwide. The Society is located at: 614 E. Emma Ave., Suite 115 Springdale, AR 72764-4634
Presented as a memorial to the memory of these orphan train riders.”

small town, USA // Hamburg, Iowa // Population 890
This is my 4th small town, USA video and 1st one in Iowa. It's a very unique geographical location where you can almost see Missouri and Nebraska! Hamburg has had an up and down history, losing over half its population from the peak of around 2000. There are some very interesting buildings around town, and you can tell there is a lot of pride! I really enjoyed my visit to Hamburg!

Here's the behind-the-scenes vlog of my 6 days exploring the backroads of Iowa. I show a lot of small towns and places that weren't in the previous videos I released about Iowa. It was a fun trip that started out with a lot of rain and ended up with a lot of sun! There might be some laughs here and there, but mostly this is me wandering around trying to find some of the smallest and often forgotten places in the state. It was a blast!

Iowa Towns: Bedford, Gravity, Anita, & Adair
Four Iowa towns!!
BEDFORD
“Bedford is a city in Taylor County, Iowa, United States. The population was 1,440 at the 2010 census. It is the county seat of Taylor County. Lake of Three Fires State Park is located a few miles northeast of Bedford.
The community is believed to have gotten its name from Thomas J. Bedford, who was the first west bound Pony Express rider to deliver the mail on its final leg from Benicia, California to Oakland, California on April 23, 1861. Bedford is believed to have operated Bedfords Store and Trading Post in 1848 within the city limits. He moved to California later that year, in the California Gold Rush.
The community was called Grove when a post office was established on June 30, 1855. On June 24, 1856 it was changed to Bedford. Other histories have noted possible other sources of the name:
Bedford in England (possible original home of early settlers)
Bedford, Indiana (reputed home of the surveyor)
Bedford, Pennsylvania (reputed home of a government engineer)
The community was formally established as the county seat of Taylor County by a legislative act in 1853. The town was formally laid out on lots sold on July 4, 1853 (which at the time identified the community as Bedforde). According to town legend, a barrel of whiskey was placed on the grounds and lots sold for $10 to $20 - although none of the lots were paid for at the time.
The present Taylor County Courthouse was built in 1893.”
GRAVITY
“Gravity is a city in Taylor County, Iowa, United States. The population was 188 at the 2010 census.
Gravity got its start in the year 1881, following construction of the railroad through the territory. It was incorporated in 1883. The origin of the name Gravity is obscure.”
ANITA
“Anita is a city in Cass County, Iowa, United States, platted in 1869 and incorporated in 1875. The population was 972 at the 2010 census. Lake Anita State Park is located just outside the town.
A violent F5 tornado occurred just east of the town on June 27, 1953. One person was killed and two others were injured.”
ADAIR
“Adair is a city in Adair and Guthrie counties in the U.S. state of Iowa. The population was 781 at the 2010 census.
The Rock Island Railroad was built through the area in 1868, which led to the area being known as Summit Cut. This was in reference to the ridge that forms the watershed divide between the Missouri and Mississippi rivers. The town officially became known as Adair on August 20, 1872, when it was incorporated with the county. The town is named after General John Adair, a general in the War of 1812 who later became the eighth governor of Kentucky. Adair was the scene of the first successful train robbery in the American West when on July 21, 1873, the James-Younger Gang (led by Jesse James) took US $3,000 from the Rock Island Express after derailing it southwest of the town. The derailment killed the engineer.
A rare F5 tornado occurred near this town on June 27, 1953, although the damage occurred closer to the town of Anita. One person was killed and two others were injured.
Adair is recognizable from Interstate 80 by its tall yellow smiley-face water tower. Humorously known as the happiest town on Earth, its roadsign warmly greets visitors with, Welcome to Adair; it'll make you smile. Some of the local businesses incorporate the smiley-face tower image into their company logos.”
