The Chichaqua Valley Recreation Trail is a recreational trail from Baxter to Bondurant in Polk County. The trail was originally a railroad right-of-way and is now paved. It passes through the forested banks of the Skunk River. It offers stunning views of Iowa’s rich farmland, left behind by the last ice age glaciers. The trail is suitable for year-round activities, including walking, jogging, cycling, rollerblading, and cross-country skiing. Trailheads with picnic shelters are available in Baxter, Ira, Mingo, and Bondurant. Parking for trail access is available in Valeria as well.
The Rock Creek Recreation Bike Trail is a paved bike trail built in 2004. It starts at Rock Creek State Park and ends in Grinnell, which is located in Poweshiek County. The trail is 4 miles long and has challenging terrain surrounded by the beautiful scenery of the Rock Creek Lake watershed. During the spring, summer, and fall seasons, it is commonly used for biking, jogging, and walking, while in the winter, it is used for cross-country skiing.
The Red Rock Prairie Trail is a paved, multi-use trail that runs 9.75 miles along a former rail corridor from Monroe to Prairie City with a direct link to the entrance of the Neal Smith National Wildlife Refuge. You can access the trail in Monroe at Jasper and W Washington Streets and in Prairie City’s Garden Square Park on South State Street. Preparation and design work for the Prairie City to Mitchellville connection is planned for later this year, with construction of the link to Mitchellville expected in 2025.
There are several natural trails available in Jasper County Parks. Jacob Krumm Nature Preserve and Clear Creek Wildlife Area have well-maintained trails suitable for hiking, running, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing. Additionally, Mariposa Park and Ashton Wildwood Park offer interpretive hiking trails that provide users a valuable learning experience.
Jasper County’s magnificent courthouse, built in 1909-11, is a three-story Beaux-Arts Classical essay. Architects from the Des Moines firm of Proudfoot & Bird designed it. Jos. Rowson & Son were the contractors; Norman A. Price was the construction superintendent.
On April 6, 1911, Hon. Horace E. Deemer, Supreme Court judge, gave the dedication address for the “imposing” new hall of justice.
It should be noted that court was first held in Jasper County in April or May 1846 in a one-room addition to Matthew D. Springer’s log cabin in what is now Buena Vista Township. Judge Williams of Muscatine presided.
After Iowa became a state in 1847, the first courthouse was built in “Newton City” for $87.50. It was constructed of green native lumber and measured 18 by 30 feet. Evan Adamson was awarded the contract to build the one-story high building on the square’s northwest corner.
The “splendid” 1857 courthouse was completed in October 1858 at a cost to the taxpayers of $26,600. The oblong, 50 by 62 feet, three-story high structure was built “in the most substan[tial] manner, after the Ionic order of architecture” by John Hyde and J. P. Huskins of Des Moines.
“There were no porches on the new courthouse, no fences,
and no walks to the building,” one pioneer remembered. Sidewalks were added later, with the newest “leading from the east side of the courthouse to the street” installed in 1901. A cast iron drinking fountain stood on the courthouse lawn from 1887 to 1909.
This second courthouse was demolished early in 1909 to make way for the present Jasper County Courthouse.
Gen. James B. Weaver, writing of the new courthouse in his Past and Present of Jasper County, Iowa (1912), rightly predicted that “long after the pages of this county history are worn and turned yellow with age, in all human probability this building will stand in all its massive beauty.”
Its walls are of Bedford (Indiana) limestone, considered the best in the country. In the four arches of the pendentives of the rotunda are murals by Edgar Cameron, a Chicago artist, depicting events in the county’s early history.
The September 28, 1910 issue of The Newton Journal elaborates: “There is an especially fine bit of sentiment connected with one of those pictures, for the memory of the old court house will be perpetuated by a picture of it being painted as the background for a scene depicting the departure of the soldiers in 1861. This is no fantastic picture of the pomp and glitter of uniformed display, but a realistic portrayal of
countrymen being hauled away in farm wagons to enter the service.”
The “old court house” referred to is the predecessor courthouse built in 1857 on the current courthouse site. The painting depicts the departure of the Jasper Grays, the first company to leave Jasper County for Civil War service on July 9, 1861.
“Another picture will show the wild sweep of a prairie fire with a herd of buffalo fleeing before its advance,” the Journal continued. “Still another tells the story of the arrival of the first white settlers and the departure of the Indians. In the foreground is the covered wagon with the white man and his family, and in the distance, a line of red men filing, lonely, down a ridge and away to the west. The last picture is the artist’s conception of the passing of the first white men across Jasper County soil. It is recorded that these were a party of Dragoons that paused for a night on the banks of a stream, and Cameron has chosen for his theme their evening encampment by the water.”
The seal of Jasper County appears on the tile on the rotunda’s floor.
A significant renovation of the edifice in 1986 fixed the interior and involved restoring the dome and paintings. On September 5, 1987, the courthouse was rededicated by the Hon. W. Ward Reynoldson, then chief justice of the Iowa Supreme Court.
I remember listening to the chief justice’s address on the east side of the square alongside the late Ron Ross, Skiff Medical Center administrator, and former resident Ron Krajnovich of Maytag’s public relations department.
The 100th anniversary of laying the current courthouse’s
cornerstone was observed on June 5, 2009. “Grand Orator” of the day was Chairman Rick Tiedje of the Jasper County Board of Supervisors, who welcomed those present for Masonic rededication ceremonies.
The 140-foot (43-meter) clock tower was restored and rededicated in a public ceremony on June 22, 2018. Jasper County Senior Court Judge Thomas W. Mott was the keynote speaker. The clock was created with private donations, and its faces are set into the parapets around the tower.
The Jasper County Courthouse was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981. In 2014, it was included as a contributing property in the Newton Downtown Historic District.
“This courthouse is locally significant as the historical focus of county government, and of the political power and prestige derived from the community’s status as the county seat,” M. H. Bowers, who completed the site inventory that landed the structure on the National Register of Historic Places, wrote. “As center of county government, an Iowa town was reasonably assured of economic and population growth and a prominent role in local social and political life. The county courthouse represents a significant public investment in a structure built not simply for utilitarian purposes, but also as a monument associated with the historical importance of county organization and development.”
Then-governor of Iowa Terry E. Branstad visited the courthouse for its 100th anniversary on July 4, 2011.
Former Jasper County Supervisor Denny Carpenter and former County Auditor Dennis Parrott gave most informative courthouse tours.
A mural titled “Welcome to Newton” is in downtown Newton, Iowa. The painting serves as a block-long backdrop to Sersland Park. The artist is Carl Homstad, and the mural was painted in 2004. Halle Siepman restored it in 2017.
The Jasper County Courthouse is the third and current official public courthouse located at 101 1st Street in Newton, Iowa. It was designed by the Des Moines firm of William T. Proudfoot and George W. Bird. Edgar Cameron painted the murals, which showcase an illustration of Jasper County’s history. Evergreene restored the rotunda murals.
A diverse group of citizens gathered to honor the courageous men and women serving as firefighters. They achieved this by commissioning sculptor Nick Klepinger to create a bronze statue. The sculpture is more significant than life and portrays two firefighters saving a toddler from a burning building. The statue is prominently located at the east entrance of the Newton Fire Department, under the American flag. The statue sits in a beautifully landscaped courtyard surrounded by personalized brick pavers.
Newton’s downtown historic district was recognized in 2014 as an excellent example of the “Mid-Century Modern” aesthetic, which was popular from 1933 to 1965. It is the first downtown listed on the National Register of Historic Places as an example of mid-20th-century aesthetics in Iowa. In 2017, Newton Main Street celebrated this achievement by inviting local artists to create paintings depicting aspects they enjoyed about Newton. Eight designs were chosen to reproduce and are displayed publicly in the pocket park north of the downtown square.
This unique roadside attraction is a quick trip off I-80 on South 48th Avenue E near Lynnville. The L. J. Maasdam wheel art includes over 200 large wagon wheels welded together. It was constructed by L. J. Maasdam in 1994, when the sculptor was 90 years old. The site includes a picnic table so you can take a snack break while taking in this unique piece of folk art.
Ashton Park Mural (Mingo)
Jasper County Conservation partnered with the Des Moines Astronomical Society (DMAS) and local artists to create a 30’x9’ mural painted by local youth on the observatory building at Ashton Wildwood Park. The mural depicts the summer night sky over a prairie scene, with guidance from DMAS on which components of the night sky to include.
Local artists Lauren Roush and Pauli Zmolek created the art for the mural, and Roush’s 2nd-4th graders helped create and paint it.
