(66) Buena Vista County 6.30.2026
Rather than coffee, we decided to start Buena Vista County off with some fresh donuts from the Storm Lake Bakery!
Although we saw that the Witter Gallery is only open from 1-4pm, we thought we would try our luck and headed to the library to see if it happened to be open during the regular library hours, but alas, it wasn’t- we’ll have to come back for that one!
We were also
hoping to see the Christmas displays at the Carnegie Library, but it was closed
as well (somehow we did not get a picture of the outside :(
We knew the
Harker House wouldn’t be open today, but we made sure to do a drive-by to at
least catch a view of it.
What we were able to do is the Living Heritage Tree Museum as it is located at the local park. Although it was just a bunch of trees planted in the park, it was pretty neat to read where they all came from!
While at the park, we enjoyed some beautiful views of Storm Lake.
Buena Vista University is located right off of the lake so we drove through campus- it is definitely a beautiful campus!
Unfortunately, the Buena Vista County Historical Society Museum was also closed; it can be hard visiting counties during the week as so much is closed!
We did stumble across the Pioneer Heritage Exhibit though
And we stopped at the Grand Central Coffee Station for lunch
And then made our way to the main attraction for the day- King’s Pointe Resort- we would highly recommend going to this during the week; it wasn’t very busy at all and was so fun!
We finished up the day at the Storm Lake Candy Co. for some ice cream for dinner 😊
This is
definitely a county to come back to, not only for the things in Storm Lake we
weren’t able to see but also to see some of the other sites the towns in Buena
Vista County have to offer!
Other Things to See/Do:
Historical Museum, Albert City Depot
Thresher’s show, Albert City
Harker House, Storm Lake
Buena Vista Historical County Museum, Storm Lake
