Built in 1883 by Harvey P. Jones and George K. Foster, Roseman is 107 feet in length and sits in its original location. It was renovated in 1992 at a cost of $152,515. In Robert James Waller’s novel, The Bridges of Madison County, and the movie of the same name, Roseman is the bridge Robert Kincaid seeks when he stops at Francesca Johnson’s home for directions. It is also where Francesca leaves her note inviting him to dinner.

Also known as the “haunted” bridge, Roseman is where two sheriff’s posses trapped a county jail escapee in 1892. It is said the man rose up straight through the roof of the bridge, uttering a wild cry, and disappeared. He was never found, and it was decided that anyone capable of such a feat must be innocent.

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Des Moines West Clive

5/5 Excellent

"An underrated good hotel. The rooms were clean. There was free coffee machines in the lobby which is a nice addition. The breakfast quality was surprisingly good, and in fact, one of the best I have ever had. All food tasted great. Even the fruits were fresher and sweeter than other places I have been to. The receptionists were friendly people who provided paper plates and utensils when we ordered food online and wanted to eat in the dining area. These small gestures were very good, which is typically missing in bigger, more pretentious expensive hotels. I would say, stay here and you will like the friendly and 'human' vibe."

"One of the best beds we have ever slept in at a hotel! Breakfast was very good and lots of options. Our room was clean and a lot of space. The small bar/restaurant was nice for times you dont want to go out."
