What's better than a picnic in the park? It could be lunch at the gazebo in the middle of the main street in Milo.
Days of the 5 cent "hamberger" at Madge's Cafe in Allerton are gone. But the local history lives on.
A southern Iowa treasure, located a few miles from Corydon, is the International Center for Rural Culture and Art.

I have discovered that each regional area of Iowa has its own personality and history. Today, I have shared with you just a few things to do and see if you GO SOUTH.
