About Hedrick

Hedrick is a quiet southeast Iowa town of around 700 residents in Keokuk County, offering plenty of small-town calm with an easy drive down to Ottumwa. The community grew up as a bustling 19th-century rail junction, and that heritage is still visible today in its historic brick downtown and preserved train depot. It is the kind of peaceful rural spot where neighbors know each other and life moves at an unhurried pace.
