Iowa History Journal, now in its 16th year, is the only popular, statewide magazine devoted exclusively to Iowa's fascinating history. Michael Swanger, a former longtime Iowa newspaperman, is the owner and publisher of Iowa History Journal, a family-owned, small business based in West Des Moines. During his tenure as the magazine’s owner since 2013, Iowa History Journal’s writers have won several awards from the State Historical Society of Iowa’s Board of Trustees in the Mills-Noun Award category and expanded its readership across the state and beyond to more than 30 states.
A one-year subscription costs $19.95 and a two-year subscription costs $35.95. Our popular back issues have become highly collectible and most are still available for purchase. Single copies of the current issue can be purchased at Barnes & Noble, Hy-Vee, Beaverdale Books and select Walmart, Mills Fleet Farm and Hartig Drug stores.
