A Moving Experience with Able Trek Tours

Our day will begin with a visit to Iowa’s Pikes Peak State Park.  Pikes Peak’s vistas overlooking the Mississippi River Valley are simply breathtaking. 

After an included lunch at Old Man River Brewing Company in McGregor, IA we’ll visit Froelich’s Tractor Museum and 1890’s Village. Home to John Froelich’s invention of the first gasoline tractor to propel itself forward & back in 1892. This became the forerunner to the John Deere Tractor Company.
