The Iowa 80 Trucking Museum preserves and displays a large collection of antique and vintage trucks, petroliana and industry artifacts collected by the founders of the Iowa 80 Truckstop. The museum sits on the truckstop campus at I‑80 Exit 284 in Walcott and aims to share trucking history with the public.
