Abstract
Plum Grove, one of Iowa's most significant historical sites, was the home of Robert Lucas, first governor of the Territory of Iowa from 1838 to 1841. It was built by Lucas in 1844, and remained his home until his death on February 7, 1853. Plum Grove may well be called the "Mount Vernon of Iowa" in honor of the able and always colorful Robert Lucas.
