House Resolution No. honors the Jordan House Museum for its significant historical contributions over the past 180 years to the people of Iowa. Built in 1850 by abolitionist James C. Jordan, the Victorian home is recognized as one of the oldest structures in Polk County and has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1973. The resolution highlights the Jordan House's role as a station on the Underground Railroad, its connection to Indigenous history, and its ongoing educational efforts regarding the histories of African Americans, Indigenous peoples, and early Iowa settlers.

The resolution calls for the inclusion of the Jordan House in the upcoming 250th anniversary commemoration of the United States, emphasizing its importance as a site where Iowans contributed to the ideals of liberty and equality. Additionally, it directs that copies of the resolution and a cover letter celebrating the Jordan House's historical significance be sent to various stakeholders, including Iowa's congressional delegation, local government officials, and several national museums and organizations related to American history and culture.
