Ambrose A. Call State Park was established in 1925 to preserve the expanse of old-growth forest that can be found alongside the Des Moines River. The park is named after its first settler, Ambrose A. Call and his brother Asa who staked their claim there in 1854. Though the log cabin he originally built is no longer there, a similar structure was brought in from a nearby homestead and placed where the original cabin once stood. Not only can you visit and explore the log cabin, but you can also rent it out for event since it is now being used as a lodge.
