Travel Guide

Ripley's Believe or Not has coined Snake Alley as the crookedest road in the world. Built in 1894, cars still maneuver their way from the top to the bottom, an exhilarating experience worth seeking!

Found this bridge while exploring. It used to be a railroad bridge, transformed to a buggy bridge, and not after restoration is a walking path bridge. It stretches over a hundred feet and while walking you can still see the old railroad and boards for the buggy.
The Greef house is just one of many houses in the small town where you can read the history of who built the house and also who lives there now. The town in just a small collection a few historic houses. It has a small all local made art shop and grocery where almost everything is made locally.
Found this place while driving to find a place to camp. Saw it from the highway. It was built in 1902, is on the historic local registry, is for sale!, is completely round, and has a bunch of garages. That's about all I know about it other then it looks awesome! I drove straight up to it. Parked in driveway, and walked around. It was for sale so it was pretty easy to walk around. Cool place! Never seen anything like it.
Historic bridge that has stood over the Des Moines River since 1882. It used to be a crossing for automobiles until the later 20th century and is now used as a pedestrian bridge.

We loved the halfling house. The overall impression was awe-inspiring, but as we soaked in the little details, the richness just deepened. Nothing failed to transport us to Middle Earth: the architecture, furniture, the curtains, the dishes, the fixtures. Every little decoration tickled me, from ...
