About Lewis

Perched on the hills above the East Nishnabotna River, Lewis offers quiet, small-town living with a lot of history in southwest Iowa. Cold Springs Park sits right next door, giving residents an easy spot for camping, fishing, and relaxing by the water. The town is also home to the historic Hitchcock House, a recognized stop on the Underground Railroad. Everyday life is calm and neighborly, with kids attending the nearby Griswold schools and Atlantic just a short drive away for groceries and shopping. If you're looking for open space and a slower pace, Lewis is an easy place to settle into.
