Hotels near I-80 in Newton offering Internet access are indicated (with an M for dial-up and W for wideband) in the I'net column. Please note that 'wideband' facilities vary. In addition to a network port (usually installed in the docking station), we suggest you bring along cables and your Windows distribution CD (in case you are required to load a special network driver). For 'dial up dataports', you would only need a modem and an RJ-11 patch cord (which you should always have with you, anyway).

Jasper County Museum
  You can't tour the plant but you can visit the Jasper County Museum where you can view a complete history in artifacts and photos of the progress and successes of Maytag. Also at the museum is a 37 foot wide diorama depicting Jasper County's history. You didn't know history could be so interesting. And there's lots, lots more. A good break - not just a rest but an education the kids won't get in school. (And, seniors, it will sure dredge up a lot of memories about the old days in a society that, we know, is gone forever.)

How to get there:
From I-80, take exit 164 and head north towards Newton. At S 12th Ave W (there's a traffic light at the intersection), turn right and then right again at the Kentucky Fried Chicken. Follow this road (W 18th St S) back toward the Interstate and it will make a couple left bends. You'll see the museum about a hundred yards ahead on your left. The address is 1700 S 15th Avenue West and their phone is 1-641-792-9118. Hours of operation from May through September are 1-5p daily. 'Students' (under 19) are only $1.
