Pikes Peak State Park near McGregor celebrated its 90th birthday this past weekend.

According to research shared by McGregor Public Library Director and community historian Michelle Pettit, Pikes Peak State Park was established Jan. 3, 1936. Mrs. Munn, grandniece of McGregor founder Alexander MacGregor, donated the property to the federal government in 1935, and it was then conveyed to the state of Iowa, creating the foundation for both Pikes Peak and Point Ann state parks. The park plan encompassed roughly 1,200 acres, including the renowned Pikes Peak, Pictured Rocks and Point Ann.
