#1 Song of the Week
40 years ago today man walked on the moon and set the whole world alight with thoughts of fantastic space flight to other worlds and the great future that lie ahead. In a coincedence of a sort the number one song at the time was "In The Year 2525" by Zager and Evans. Denny Zager and Rick Evans hailed from the great plains of Nebraska and this would be their only hit record and one they tried to move away from over the years. This was not "their sound" according to Rick Evans in Billboard magazine in 1969 so they never recaptured the popularity this song brought them during the week of the moon walk.

Museum Part 4
This is the championship belt worn during the NWA World title reign of Lou Thesz in the 1940s and 50s
Below are 2 pictures of the death mask of 30s wrestler Maurice Tillet, who was known as "The French Angel" during his heyday. This mask is one of 3 in existance and was donated to the museum. I included a picture of Mikayla next to it to show the size of his head due to acromegaly, a disese that enlarges and disfigures the human body. It also lead to the death of Andre the Giant. Here is a picture of Maurice Tillet in everday life.

Museum Part 3
Below is the original mask and ring jacket for pro legend Mr Wrestling I. He made his name in the southern wrestling circut and became an pop culture icon when he was named the favorite wrestler of President Jimmy Carter's mother Lillian.
One of the original Million Dollar Belts used by Ted Dibiase during his time as "The Million Dollar Man" in the 1980s WWF.
Of course they had several walls dedicated to Dan Gable who is THE MAN in Iowa wrestling.
One of Bret Hart's ring jackets that he wore during his reign as WWF Champion. This one had the gold buttons removed for security reasons because you can just reach up and touch this display.
These are the AWA World tag team belts first worn by the Road Warriors in the late 80s and then by Curt Henning/Scott Hall, the Midnight Rockers during the Tag Team boom in the AWA.

Museum Part 2
The first picture is a picture of the damage caused by the flood of the the Iowa River in 2008. The museum was closed until June of 2009 and most of the damage was done by the sewers backing up into the building. They had sandbagged and stopped most of the river from causing the damage. 
this is my lovely daughter Mikayla doing her best impression of Baron Von Raschke. I call her the Baroness after this was taken.
Because Frank Gotch was from Iowa and considered one of, if not THE wrestling legend in wrestling crazy Iowa, they devoted an entire wall to his life and career and I am sure there is more they dont have on display but this was pretty impressive.
The have a small ring in the middle of the room and anyone can get in and roll around. My daughters did of course so I had my picture taken with them, I of course couldnt get in through the ropes so I just stood on the apron.
