Discover a Classic!

On behalf of our community, we’d like to invite you to visit our neck of the woods, where you can find all the amenities you’d want for a getaway that will leave you feeling relaxed and refreshed. 2020 has been quite the year and we can’t think of anything better than inviting you to experience what has made us consistently ranked as one of the top 100 communities in the nation.
Explore our website to learn all about our community, and if you book a two night stay in our local hotels in 2021, we will welcome you with a basket full of local flavors, treats, and gift certificates worth well over $100!
Here is a snapshot of some of our favorites in the community. Come visit us and discover your favorites.
  • Explore our Historic town square filled with shopping and dining, centered around our Centennial Fountain featuring a multi-colored light show in the evening.
  • See a movie at the longest continuously operating movie theater in the WORLD! Our State Theater is the perfect location for the ultimate date night of dinner and a movie, and maybe even stopping next door to the local ice cream store afterwards.
  • Breathe in the fresh air on our miles of trails perfect for walking, running, biking and even snow-shoeing!
  • Visit Kalona, where you can experience a day-in-the-life of our thriving Amish community.
  • Just a few miles south is the community of Brighton, where Lake Darling State Park will provide you with miles of paved trails that wind you through the woods and water.
  • If you’re feeling adventurous, we are 17 miles from the future birthplace of Star Trek’s Captain Kirk and the Riverside Casino, which offers a Vegas-inspired casino, a world class golf course, and top-notch entertainment.
Explore our website and come visit us in 2021. Our Chamber of Commerce is happy to help answer your questions as you plan your trip to our community.
