Yes, the town of Riverside, Iowa (about 30 min. south of Iowa City in the Southeast portion of the state) claims to be the future birthplace of Kirk. Every year for the past several (at least 5 years, I'd say) during the town's annual summer festival/parade they tow a 14-foot-long model of the Enterprise down the parade route. It's not a bad model, though since it's made of fairly thick metal, like that used in propane tanks, it's not too detailed.
