The American Revolution did not end when the war was won; it continued on through the people who carried its ideals forward. Though not part of the Revolutionary War itself, these Iowans embodied its enduring principles of liberty, equality, and civic responsibility. Through acts of service, advocacy, leadership and innovation, they helped shape their communities and advance the ongoing pursuit of justice and opportunity for all. Their stories remind us that the revolutionary spirit lives on in the everyday actions of ordinary people. By sharing these stories across the state, Iowa PBS celebrates the power of local voices to strengthen democracy and inspire civic engagement.
We’re excited to host "Revolutionary Iowans," a pop-up display celebrating America’s 250th anniversary, in all of Iowa's 99 counties.
