Notes

Effigy Mounds National Monument is Iowa's only national monument. Iowa has no national parks.

The name of this county

Is al-a-ma-KEE.

It's right on the shores of

The mi-si-si-PEE.


In the far northeast corner

Of ol' eye-o-WAY,

In the autumn its trees

Have a glorious dis-PLAY.


The county seat, Waukon,

Sits 'mid nature's FINE-ry.

The fairgrounds, a theater,

And its own little WINE-ry.


In Lansing, you'll find

There's a bridge to wis-CON-sin.

At Effigy Mounds,

There are earthworks of FAUN-a.
