By Lauren Sorenson–<\/strong>Sioux City has a rich history and is home to a number of museums and historical\u00a0sites. If you\u2019re looking for something to do and you\u2019re tight on money, try one of
\nthese places:<\/p>\n

1. Art Center<\/em>– The Sioux City Art Centers bestows Sioux City with exhibits of\u00a0local, national, and international artists. Currently, the Art Center is cooperating\u00a0with art teachers from the Sioux City Community Schools. The series presents\u00a0work from elementary, middle, and high school students. The Sioux City Camera\u00a0Club will also have works on display. The theme the Club is discovering is “quiet.”<\/p>\n

2. War Eagle<\/em>– The War Eagle monument sits on top of a bluff that overlooks a split in\u00a0the Missouri River. Wambdi Okicize was also known as War Eagle, but interestingly\u00a0he was a supporter of peace. His daughters and grandchildren were all buried\u00a0with him on the bluff. The monument gives visitors a great scenic view of the river.<\/p>\n

Johanna Munoz, a Sioux City local, gives one piece of advice, \u201cBe wary of what you
\nbring with you to the monument. The wind is so powerful at some points, that you
\ncould easily lose a hat or whatever you\u2019re holding in your hands.\u201d<\/p>\n

3. First Bride\u2019s Grave<\/em>– If you plan on going to the First Bride\u2019s Grave be prepared\u00a0for a walk. The walk is short, but beware it is steep. A bench is located almost\u00a0half way up the trail for those who need a break. The path is fairly well shaded\u00a0by trees, until you reach the top of the bluff. Trees enclose the gravesite,\u00a0so the best view of the river comes immediately after the climb up the hill.<\/p>\n

4. Dorothy Pecaut Nature Center<\/em> – The Dorothy Pecaut Nature Center is a 10-acre site, in Stone State Park. The Nature Center is home to a variety of exhibits,\u00a0including a 400-gallon aquarium of native fish, a butterfly and wildflower garden.<\/p>\n

5. Disc Golf-<\/em> When the weather warms up get your Frisbees out. Sertoma Park, near Southern Hills\u00a0Applebee\u2019s, offers a 2,844-foot disc golf course. There are 9 holes throughout the\u00a0park that curve around the Water Tower. There are challenging narrow fairways,\u00a0and several holes are surrounded by woody areas, so make sure you\u2019re wearing\u00a0sneakers.\"photo(1)\"<\/a><\/p>\n
