CLINTON, Iowa Eagle Point Park in Clinton, Iowa was originally designated as a park in 1888.
The nearly 200-acre park overlooks Lock and Dam 13 on the Mississippi River.
A main feature of the park is the Stone Tower. It was built from native stone in 1937. It features a spiral staircase that winds around inside the two-story structure.
When the Great Depression struck Clinton in the mid-1930s, they used $3 million in federal funds to work on the park.
Hundreds of folks worked there for $15 a day, on projects like a limestone footbridge.
The park is located at 3923 N 3rd St, Clinton, IA and is open to the public year round from dawn to dusk.
How They Met
Philippa and Joe say they “met over the waves of cyberspace.” Joe liked Philippa’s profile on Match; her first response to Joe was a simple “hi.” After chatting a bit on the dating site, the couple decided to meet in person at a local restaurant. Yet, Joe’s day wasn’t going as planned and he ended up texting Philippa that he was running about three hours behind schedule. Philippa says she was skeptical and thought to herself, “Well, this will probably be our first and last date.” Luckily, she was mistaken. Both say they quickly realized during their first date how easy it was to talk, laugh, and just be themselves. “He was well worth the wait,” says Philippa.
