History
The Arrow Room, named for a Milwaukee passenger train, is a recreation of an early 20th Century railroad dining car, complete with coffered ceiling, wood paneling, and murals showing the countryside near Perry by Bouton artist Dennis Adams. The Challenger and Hiawatha Rooms, also named for Milwaukee trains are designed in the Arts and Crafts style frequently found in depot restaurants and rail road hotel dining rooms. The Challenger Room is topped with murals of Perry's Railroad past by Iowa artist John Preston remind you of the panorama passengers viewed from the train that was Queen of the Rails.
