Welcome to the Official Traer, Iowa Quasquicentennial Web Page!
(That's 125 years.)
Traer is a community in east-central Iowa. It was settled in 1873, and became incorporated in 1875. In August, 1998, Traer will hold a large celebration marking the 125 years of settlement. (More information will be posted as it becomes available and this page is updated.)
What have you missed? See all the events that have already occurred this year, many sponsored by the Iowa Humanities Board.
If pictures of our town are more your style, read about the "Where in Traer" contest. This contest deals with pictures in and around our town.
If you want to see the ad for our celebration that appeared in the free
KDAO summer newsletter, click here.
Don't know how to get to Traer? See instructions on how to get to Traer from Omaha/Kansas City, Chicago, the Twin Cities, South Dakota, and many places in Iowa. If you live within a few counties of Traer and Tama County (Des Moines, Iowa City, Waterloo, Oelwein), or just want to see the area of Iowa around Traer, look at a map of the area.
