"Draper has invested countless hours in locating patches from all over Iowa and putting together multiple displays.
Most notable are the more than 1,500 patches he donated to the museum, located inside the police station, 25 E. First St.
'I do it to keep busy. It's better than watching TV 24 hours a day; that gets old,' he said.
Draper, a retired railroad worker, is a big-time collector. For a decade he has traveled across the state to law enforcement agencies and facilities in pursuit of their patches."
