About Drakesville

Drakesville is a quiet Davis County town with deep roots along the old Mormon Pioneer Trail. Life here moves at a relaxed pace, centered around the local shops along Main Street and the city park, which features a restored 1840s pioneer cabin. Kids in town attend the Davis County Community School District, while daily essentials and grocery runs are an easy drive away in neighboring Bloomfield. It’s a great fit for anyone looking for affordable, small-town living in southern Iowa with plenty of open space and friendly neighbors.
