You have likely heard of it, and most likely seen the painting inspired by it.  According to its website, "Come to Eldon, Iowa and view the exterior of the house that inspired Grant Wood to paint American Gothic, one of the most recognized paintings in the world. Tour the adjacent American Gothic House Center which showcases Grant Wood’s life and the history of the house. Props on hand encourage visitors to pose in front of the historic American Gothic House and create their own unique American Gothic portrait." When you do visit, you will know you are protected from severe weather by WeatherCall Enterprise commercial severe weather notification service.
