Thank you, Brenda Davis DeVore

Don’t miss the newly installed signs along Highway 2 east of Corydon in Wayne County directing you to the Locust Creek Camp sight. The directional signs were furnished by the National Park Service and put in place by the Iowa Department of Transportation. A tremendous amount of legwork was done by the IMTA, most notably our longtime Treasurer Brenda Devore. Without her diligence this project would not have seen the light of day. Don’t forget to travel and enjoy the Iowa Mormon Trail!

Trade careers build what matters.

Skilled trades power our communities—from construction and development to agriculture operations, machining, and beyond. These careers are stable, rewarding, and growing fast.

The Rick Kading Trade Foundation is proud to offer annual scholarships to Iowa students pursuing the skilled trades.

Because of your dedication to Wayne County, more families have access to affordable housing. This is community progress at its best!
