Notes

The Mahanay Memorial Bell Tower is 168 feet tall. George Gallup was born in Jefferson in 1901. The Scranton water tower (1897) is the oldest working water tower in Iowa.

Jefferson's the county seat.

It's named for the president, Thomas.

You'll see his statue right downtown

And one for Abe the Honest.


On the courthouse square you'll find

A tower from the '60s.

Costs three bucks to reach the top.

See all the neighboring cities!


There's a telephone museum

And the home of Mister Gallup.

The pollster, he was born right here,

And this is where he grew up.


The Raccoon Valley Trail starts here,

You bikers may have noticed.

And the town of Scranton has the

Water tower that's the oldest.
