The sun is melting the snow off of Pilot Grove today!

The sign reads:
Pilot Grove, a wooden knoll, rose from the long stretches of prairie which surrounded it. From the early 1840s on, it was known as a landmark for pioneers going west across Iowa. For those who settled in the area, Pilot Grove was also a guidepost, giving a sense of direction and distance from the county seat. The prairie has now mostly given way to cultivated fields and much of the timber that made up the Pilot Grove is also gone. This remnant has been preserved so that future generations may see it and be reminded of their heritage. Pilot Grove was given to the state of Iowa by the Kelting Family.
