About Nashua

Tucked along the Cedar River in northeast Iowa, Nashua is a quiet, close-knit community with a classic small-town feel. It is best known for the historic Little Brown Church, a picturesque 1860s chapel famous for inspiring the hymn "The Church in the Wildwood" that still hosts weddings from across the country. Local kids attend the Nashua-Plainfield school district, and residents enjoy spending weekends boating on Cedar Lake, fishing, or gathering in the town parks. It is a welcoming spot for anyone looking for open space, friendly neighbors, and an easygoing pace of life.
