Jones County

The courthouse here in Anamosa

Overlooks the state penitentiary.

This prison, it looks like a castle.

Been there since the 19th century.

Outside the wall is the State Pen Museum.

Down the street's a museum 'bout choppers.

And outside of town, at Wapsi State Park,

You'll find folks who are fishin' for whoppers.

The artist Grant Wood, he was born here.

And then he was buried here too.

Is Anamosa the state's Pumpkin Capital?

There's a Pumpkin Fest here every year, it is true!

A few miles away, you will find Monticello,

Home of Great Jones County Fair.

And you'll see there is camping at Jellystone Park,

The birthplace of Yogi the Bear.
