The Official Home of the Iowa/Midwest Music
 On-Line Virtual Museum

Our museum is like a real building..........go to the front door then go down any of the three hallways to do your research.  The three hallways are the Museum,  the Library, and the Hall of Fame.  All these "rooms" are full of history and little known information with text, pictures, and various multimedia.  Feel free to "come on in", sit down, and browse our museum.

IOWA/MIDWEST MUSIC ON-LINE VIRTUAL MUSEUM, LIBRARY, AND HALL OF FAME.   
This is a museum different than any you would be used to.  There is a front door to go through, then in the entryway you can choose which room of the museum you want to visit.  Whether you choose the Library doorway to see music or books, or choose the Hall of Fame doorway to see the talented people who have shaped music in the Midwest, or choose the Museum doorway to see artifacts that have been such a part of our music history.  You can nominate someone from Iowa/Midwest who you think has significantly contributed to the country music art form in some way.  Look for the link to the nomination form on the "Hall Of Fame" doorway.
