Margaret Keyes and the Restoration of Old Capitol

Margaret Keyes is your tour guide through the restoration process of Iowa's first state capitol building. The daughter of a state archaeologist, Keyes was a professor of Home Economics when she was appointed Research Director of Old Capitol - a position that would include a six year restoration of a century old landmark. Keyes reflects lovingly on the difficult search for original building plans to Iowa's most revered structure. She shares the excitement of discovery as she finds precious antique furniture used in the early days of the building. Her stories of finding or recreating whale oil lamps, tallow candles, period chandeliers, and stove pipe heating weave the historical fabric of early life and government in the State of Iowa.
