Pocahontas, IA: A grand edifice of local government - the courthouse of Pocahontas county (located in the town of Pocahontas) - was fittingly placed upon the Registry of Historical Places. So perfectly preserved is this building, that even its original clocks as well as its brass cuspidors are still in place. The War Memorial, hewn entirely of black marble, was erected on the courthouse's front terrace in mid-2007.

Pocahontas: Opened in 1939, The Rialto theater - rich in its art deco styling - became the first movie house of northwest Iowa. This entertainment center - still in full operation to this day with showings seven days per week - is located on Pocahontas' magnificent and bustling store-studded main street.
