Iowa Old Press is an IAGenWeb Special Project dedicated to the scores of newspapers that are printed chronicles of the lives and times of Iowa and Iowans. Read these pages and step back in time and learn how the Press reported the news & influenced our Iowa ancestors in the 1800's and into the mid-1900's.  Iowa Old Press will remain with IAGenWeb, but as an “Archived Special Project” starting Jan. 1, 2024. This site continues to be here and includes some of Iowa's earliest newspapers - approx mid-1850s up to and including 1945. Enjoy your visit to this website!
