Kimballton, IA

Kimballton is a quiet, close-knit town in southwest Iowa, sitting just a few miles north of Interstate 80. Together with its neighbor Elk Horn, the community is famous for its rich Danish heritage, which you'll notice right away as you walk past the brick storefronts along Main Street. It offers a relaxed, rural pace of life where neighbors know each other, all while keeping residents within an easy drive of both Des Moines and Omaha.

Community life centers around local traditions and family-friendly spots. In the city park, you'll find a bronze replica of Copenhagen’s Little Mermaid fountain surrounded by sculptures inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales, alongside Audubon County’s painted Freedom Rock. Families are served by the consolidated Exira-EHK school district, with middle and high school campuses just down the road in Elk Horn. Between cultural celebrations, local art spaces, and scenic rolling hills, Kimballton provides a welcoming setting for anyone looking for classic small-town living.
