Gov. Kim Reynolds and Lt. Gov. Adam Gregg presented the state’s highest awards for history this week at the State Capitol, and Pella Historical Society was among the honorees.

The Excellence in History Awards recognize individuals, organizations and communities who have made outstanding contributions to the study and practice of Iowa history.

Pella Historical Society and Wallace Winkie Foundation of Belle Plaine received a Certificate of Recognition for their collaboration on the original play titled “Tombstone Trial: The Iowa Connection,” which is about the aftermath of the OK Corral Shootout and the murder trial of the Earp Brothers and Doc Holliday.
