History

Dr. Glick, an early founder and promoter of Marshalltown sold his home to the George Sower family in 1870.[2] George Sower emigrated from Germany in the 1840s and worked in the newspaper business, founding the Marshall Times, now known as the Marshalltown Times Republican. The home was owned by the Sower family until 1952, when Susie Sower willed the estate to the citizens of Marshall County.[3]
