WINTERSET, IOWA

Although we've been to Winterset many times, we took a little drive downtown to see the tourist spots. The town square has a courthouse in the middle with stores around it. Here's part of it.

Two of their famous "townies" are Fons and Porter who have their own quilting shop, magazine and TV show. Liz Porter's dad used to go to coffee where Don went in Decorah, because she's from there.

Their most famous citizen became a cowboy. He has a street named after him.

Here's his birthplace.

The well known book and movie "The Bridges of Madison County", was written about this county. Since it's a rainy day we went to the closest covered bridge in the park. They're all similar so this will give you an idea what they look like.

It's a neat little town!
