About the town
Known for its history as a communal community, these seven German influenced villages offer trails, a farm, which is reintroducing and repopulating endangered species and wildflowers, an 18-hole championship golf course, bed and breakfasts with the charm of century old homes, condos, hotels and motels. Go shopping at specialty stores and galleries for art, boutique fashion, antique goods, quality foods and beverages, finely crafted furniture, clocks and visit the wineries and Iowa’s oldest microbrewery. Take a tour of a century-old barn aging back to over 130 years, cross country ski or ski at a 3.2 mile trail, walk or bike a trail and keep a watch for wild turkeys, eagles, beavers, and river otters. For the camper in you enjoy a 60-acre campsite and level campsites with showers, laundry, camp store, and free Wi-Fi.
