| Iowa |
| Iowa
, midwestern state in the N central United States. It is bounded
by the Mississippi R., across which lie Wisconsin and Illinois
(E); Missouri (S); Nebraska and South Dakota, from which it
is separated by the Missouri and the Big Sioux rivers, respectively

Nature and Adventure |
Tourist
attractions in Iowa are few and far between; its most visited
destination is the throwback Germanic enclave of the Amana
Colonies . However, the state does also hold a few oddball
sites, such as the original locations for the movies The Bridges
of Madison County (in south central Winterset , birthplace
of John Wayne) and Field of Dreams (near Dubuque in the northeast).
You can also see, but not enter, the original house that featured
in Grant Wood's much-parodied American Gothic painting (at
Eldon in the southeast, and now owned by the state).
