What makes Winterset so special? We visit Winterset Iowa in our first Random Iowa Episode! Ep.1 

I lived in Winterset for 17 years. Nice town, it felt like home right away.

When this bridge was built people traveled by wagon, coach, horseback and buggy or walking so they could shelter in them during bad weather until it passed but also it protected the wood to make them last longer.

I saw Kevin Costner in Swing Vote at the IOWA Theater in October of 2008.

Covered to protect the wooden bridge from the weather.

I went to iowa in 1992 from calif it was like getting off the plain in the 50s its come a long way but still has a lot of old day feel to things i moved to a small town 15 min from winterset lot of wifes family live in winterset

Thanks for a excellent tour, really enjoyed the old town and bridges.

You might try Strawberry Point around Veteran's day or in the Spring with all the hanging baskets. Then, Backbone State Park. That beautiful park sustained heavy damage by flood. At this point, you aren't too far from Field of Dreams.

Winterset is very pretty. Also you guys got really close the my house!

Also The Bridges of Madison County was filmed here with Clint Eastwood and Meryl Streep 🙂

The Downtown area ,Reminds me of Disney's main street U.S.A

Thanks! I camped at the WInterset campground in 2022. Great town campground!

Love your video, thanks for sharing 😊

I visited Winterset for a week in October during the Madison County Covered Bridge Festival held every year. It’s the greatest small town ever! My husband’s aunt lives there. It is truly like Mayberry! I’d live there if I could!

Thank You for touring our city and sharing your experience. There's alot of history here. Henry Wallace grew up here. He was the VP for Theodore Rosevelt. George Washington carver and George Stout was born here. He was portrayed by George Clooney in the movie The Monuments Men. He retrieved the artwork that was stolen by Nazis. Maybe bring your son in Oct for our Covered Bridge Festival. Will have more additions for kids to play. Music and vendors.

I live in Winterset iowa

This is an awesome concept for a channel but, more importantly, it’s a great adventure for you and your son! But, you need to do this in the Unibody😁

I used to live in winterset I didn’t know if anyone would go there willingly due to how small it is

Did you go to Clark's tower or to Greenfield to see the freedom rock

He was there for 7 yrs

Here after Winterset got hit by an EF4 tornado…
