About Wellman
Located in Washington County just south of the English River, Wellman is a quiet small town with deep roots in railroad history. The community was founded in 1879 when Joseph Wellman offered up land for a new rail line after older river settlements struggled with flooding. Today, it offers a relaxed, rural pace within an easy drive of Iowa City. You can still get a feel for its local heritage downtown, where the Wellman Heritage Museum preserves the town's early days inside a classic 1909 bank building.
