Oneota Valley Community Orchestra

Oneota Valley Community Orchestra

Arts + Entertainment

Founded in August of 2014, the Oneota Valley Community Orchestra is a volunteer ensemble open to all area (and non-area) residents who wish to perform great music in an orchestral setting. From symphonies to opera, the OVCO will present orchestral music from a variety of different styles and time periods ranging from the baroque era through newly commissioned works. A typical season consists of three to four "Masterworks" concerts, which include the full orchestra, and a few small venue concerts for our chamber music series. Through the programming of high-quality literature from the symphonic repertoire and our commitment to playing at a high artistic level, the OVCO has been able to attract professional and semi-professional musicians to sit in a number of our sections. However, the core of the orchestra is made up of professionals from other fields who want to continue the study of classical music and present free performances to the area.

Porter House Museum

Museums

Located in the former Decorah home of Adelbert Field Porter (1879-1968) and Grace Young Porter (1880-1964), the Porter House Museum is an inspiring exploration of history, nature, and art.

Porter was a gentleman naturalist, collector, and photographer who traveled throughout the world in pursuit of butterflies, rocks, and other curiosities. A man of artistic sensibilities, Porter used his nature collections to create unique "nature art," for which he became well known during his lifetime. At the museum, visitors experience the historic travels, art, and collecting of this naturalist and his wife against the backdrop of Victorian elegance that was their home and heritage.

Porter era un caballero naturalista, coleccionista, y fotógrafo que viajaba a través del mundo buscando mariposas, piedras y otras curiosidades. Un hombre de sensibilidades artísticas, Porter usaba sus colecciones naturales para crear “arte de naturaleza” único, razón por la cual se hizo famoso durante su vida. En el museo, los visitantes experimentan viajes históricos, arte, y las colecciones de este naturalista y su esposa contra el telón de fondo de elegancia victoriana que era su casa y herencia.

A thoughtfully-curated, occasional shop located in Decorah, Iowa open one weekend each month. Offering handcrafted and vintage home decor, accessories, and gifts.

We became friends eight years ago when we moved into the same neighborhood in our quaint, little town of Decorah, Iowa. Thankfully our husbands and kids enjoy spending time together as much as we do!

Over the years, we've enjoyed helping each other decorate and update our homes. We've visited many pop-up shops, vintage markets, and brick and mortar stores that focus on refurbished furniture and unique decor and goods. We have a similar love for the remained, vintage and repurposed. We have even dabbled in a bit of rehabbing ourselves and you can often find one of us painting a room in one of our homes or a cool piece of vintage furniture that we feel would be the perfect fit to complete a space.
