Step back in time at the Jordan House Heritage Jubilee. We’re throwing a good old-fashioned party at the historic Jordan House to celebrate its 175th anniversary!

Family friendly fun planned includes:
  • Hands-On Heritage: make apple cider on antique presses, create heritage crafts and play historic games.
  • Toe-Tapping Tunes from “The Weary Ramblers.”
  • Indigenous Experience: Learn about the history of the tribes that were once in West Des Moines.
  • Legacy Woods Update: Learn about the exciting progress at Legacy Woods.
  • Des Moines Children’s Museum will present a hands on activity.
  • Crush apples and make cider.
  • Historical reinactors.
  • Pack a Wagon: Can you pack a wagon with everything you’ll need for the long journey on the Oregon Trail?
  • Build a Log Cabin: Practice your pioneer skills and build a cabin!
