There was one place I really wanted to visit on our way to the Twin Cities this summer…Riverside, IA, the Future Birthplace of Captain James T. Kirk!
Yes, there is a monument marking the future event outside city hall, but that’s not the only reference to the captain…the town has gone all-in on their claim to fame!
I especially loved this statue:
Which was located next to a Star Trek-themed playground:
And across the street, there was a small museum/gift shop:
We just missed out on Trek Fest:
It was such a fun, quirky place for a family of Trekkies to visit!
