Iowa Files: Legacy Woods

There’s an exciting new project on the corner of Grand and Fuller- Legacy Woods Nature Sanctuary. When completed, the nearly 30 acre site will include restored prairie and oak savannah, an arboretum and historical campus with the Jordan House, Bennett School and a new heritage center for the public! See the site plan and hear from Ryan Penning, Director of Parks and Recreation, Marco Alvarez, Superintendent of Parks, Allison Ullestad, Arts, Culture & Enrichment Supervisor and Gale Brubaker, Executive Director of the West Des Moines Historical Society.

This joint library-Historical Society event is free and open to the public thanks to the support of West Des Moines Historical Society Members, EMC Insurance Foundation, the West Des Moines Library Friends Foundation and the Iowa Arts Council. 

All Iowa Files programs will be live streamed on the West Des Moines Historical Society’s Facebook Page and all videos will be closed captioned. They will also be uploaded to their YouTube channel after the event takes place.
