(Radio Iowa) – A convoy of U-S military vehicles will make its way through north-central Iowa next week as part of a 25-hundred mile journey. The Military Vehicle Preservation Association is celebrating the 15th year of its convoy program by retracing the historic Jefferson Highway route from the Minnesota border to New Orleans. Visit Mason City executive director Lindsey James says the caravan will be a must-see, especially for veterans.

The convoy will head south on Wednesday. James says it’s sponsored by the largest international historic military vehicle group, which includes roughly 35-hundred members.

James says the public will have a chance to have an up-close look at these historic vehicles at the Mason City V-F-W.

This year marks the eighth convoy organized by the Military Vehicle Preservation Association and the first to follow a north-south axis through the heart of the country.
