Enjoy a short documentary of the famous actor and tour his birthplace home. We will then tour the unique Iowa Quilt Museum in downtown Winterset. Lunch will be a “farm to table” experience at the Henry A. Wallace farm.  Learn the important family legacy of the Wallace family to agriculture and conservation in Iowa.  We will stop at the famous Roseman Covered Bridge featured in the “Bridges of Madison County” movie.  Participants will have free time to explore the many unique shops in downtown Winterset.  The refurbished Iowa Theatre will feature a short movie showing clips from films made in Iowa and actors from Iowa.  The Rusty Stars Alpaca’s farm will be our final stop of the day to feed these unique animals.  Bring your curiosity and sense of adventure for a fun day in Madison County.
