Boone: Railroads and the High Trestle
Boone sits on the Des Moines River about 50 miles north of Des Moines with a population of approximately 12,700. The city developed as a coal mining and railroad town in the 1860s. The Boone and Scenic Valley Railroad operates tourist excursion trains on a former freight line through the river valley.
The High Trestle Trail Bridge, a 13-story-tall pedestrian and bicycle bridge spanning the Des Moines River valley near Boone, has become one of the most photographed structures in Iowa. The half-mile-long bridge features illuminated steel frames that create a mining-shaft effect at night.
Mamie Doud Eisenhower, wife of President Dwight Eisenhower, was born in Boone in 1896. The Mamie Doud Eisenhower Birthplace museum preserves the house. Iowa State University in Ames is just 15 miles south, creating economic overlap between the two communities.
