A key feature of Mount Pleasant is its agricultural heritage, showcased by the annual Midwest Old Thresher’s Reunion. This event, which began in 1950, draws over 100,000 visitors each year to celebrate the region’s farming history through interactive exhibits, including steam engines, antique cars, and even a narrow-gauge railroad. The reunion is a major attraction, ending each year on Labor Day after a five-day weekend.
Education is a central part of the community, with the Mount Pleasant Community School District serving local students. The district operates a high school, middle school, and four elementary schools, providing a solid foundation for the city’s youth.
Overall, Mount Pleasant combines a rich history, strong community values, and a celebration of its agricultural roots. The city’s vibrant mix of cultural events, educational opportunities, and a growing population makes it a distinctive part of southeastern Iowa.
