Fort Madison, Iowa.
The friends of Old Fort Madison have agreed to purchase a War of 21812 battlefield in Fort Madison.
This is accomplished partly because of a $50,000 deal struck with the Archaeological Conservancy organization, a preservation group that has historical sites throughout the United States.
The original Fort Madison was completed in 1811 near the former site of the Sheaffer Pen Company factory.
