Transform Your Town into a Tourist Destination

Details

Simply put, life is good in Woodbine!  Just as the Western Skies Scenic Byway and the Lincoln Highway Heritage Byway converge in this small, western Iowa town, families are drawn to the merger of a focused community and ample recreation with a first-rate education system and a variety of housing choices.

Woodbine is a town where folks care about each other.  Many community groups and civic organizations support fine arts, athletics, and special events such as the annual Western Iowa Applefest and the Woodbine Rodeo.  There are plenty of outdoor activities for families to love in Woodbine, with nearby recreation areas like the scenic Loess Hills offering nature trails, camping, swimming, picnicking and fishing.  Golf enthusiasts flock to the beautiful nine holes at Shadow Valley Golf Course.  In town, folks enjoy walking one of the longest original brick stretches of the Historic Lincoln Highway or gathering at the new Crew Center, a community wellness center. 

The town’s status as a family-friendly community was aided by a downtown revitalization effort that resulted in national recognition as a "Great American Main Street" in 2014. That investment has helped promote an increase in new housing development and rising school enrollments.  Read more about how the town has solidified its position as a model for community-driven revitalization efforts.
