Surprising I-29: Great Little Places and Local Lore Along One of America's Underappreciated Highways

Now available at Sioux City Gifts and on Amazon!

If you live, work, or travel along I-29, I've got a brand-new travel guide I'd love to share with you: Surprising I-29: Great Little Places and Local Lore Along One of America's Underappreciated Highways by me, Lindsay Hindman. Come with me to find cute boutiques with locally made jewelry, follow the footsteps of the Lewis & Clark Expedition along the Missouri River, snack at the factory store for the oldest popcorn company in the world, and marvel at a seaworthy, reproduction, Viking ship. Find out where to make your own bronze art keepsakes, sleep in a hobbit hole, and stroll with bison. All these adventures and more await along I-29. And I am so excited to hear about people making memories in these amazing places after reading this book.

This book is the first and only travel guide to cover the I-29 corridor as a cohesive region and includes places to explore, eat, stay, and shop from the River Market area in Kansas City, Missouri to the Canadian border in Pembina, North Dakota. The book focuses on historical sites, locally owned small businesses, and regional chains in Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, and Minnesota. 


Where to buy Surprising I-29

  • Surprising I-29 is now available in paperback at Sioux City Gifts, Book People, the Sioux City Public Museum, and the Sergeant Floyd Riverboat Museum
  • Surprising I-29 is now available on Amazon in paperback, hardcover and ebook
  • I will donate a copy to the Sioux City Public Library as soon as I get more author copies. I ordered one hardback for myself, and it definitely seems like it is more durable and will last longer for the library.
