Waterloo was built on the strengths of immigrants and emigrants. This diverse group of
individuals came for different reasons: cheap land, jobs, relief from the aftermath of war;
and many stayed, bringing their customs and traditions along, incorporating them into the
1 fabric of this richly unique community, among the most diverse in the state of Iowa. Through
photographs and artifacts visitors will learn how Waterloo grew into a regional economic
center through the ingenuity, hard work and dedication of its diverse residents.

During the Civil War many women utilized their skills in needlework to support their
