About The Wallace Centers of Iowa
The Wallace Centers of Iowa preserves the Wallace family legacy of agricultural innovation and public service with programs and two historic locations that connect Iowa’s food, land, and people. The two historic locations WCI own and manage were once residences of the Wallace family: the Wallace House in the Sherman Hill neighborhood of Des Moines was the residence of Uncle Henry and Nancy Cantwell Wallace while Uncle Henry ran the publishing company of The Wallaces’ Farmer, and the Wallace Farm in rural Orient in Adair County which was the birthplace of the founder of Pioneer, Secretary of Agriculture, and Vice President Henry A. Wallace. Out of these locations, WCI hosts numerous programs throughout the year, including the popular “Pizza on the Prairie” event throughout the summer at the Wallace Farm, and “Sherman Hill Victorian Teas” at the Wallace House.
