The fate of the Iowa City state historical society is in the hands of the state Supreme Court. The state historical society announced it would be closing its Iowa City location in June of last year citing a budget shortfall. Its last official day open to the public was New Years Eve. All the items were to be moved to the Des Moines location. But a group has filed a lawsuit against the state to try and keep the building in operation.

Details on how do so will be released later today…
