Historic General Dodge House, Council Bluffs

I loved the tour and the house. The dining room opened to the parlor and the mirrors, which were embedded with diamond dust, reflected into one another in that beautiful setting so that your image and the rooms appeared to be reflected infinitely - as though you, too, were caught in a moment of timelessness. General Dodge's office was authentic and the Winchester rifle housed about the mantel seemed as though it were new. The masculine atmosophere and the beauty of the house reflected an elegant wealth and tastefulness and when you were near the servant's quarters on the third floor where the ballroom was with its polished hardwood floor and beautiful pianoforte, you could almost hear an echo of a dance that may have been held two hundred years ago. It was wonderful and so was my tour guide. Victoria Morrow
