Woodbine, IA

Set along the Boyer River in western Iowa, Woodbine is a classic small town with plenty of character. Its downtown is paved with an original brick stretch of the historic Lincoln Highway, lined with well-kept storefronts, a vintage train depot, and a restored caboose. The community really comes alive each September during Applefest, an annual tradition that fills the brick streets with craft vendors, car shows, and fresh apple pies. It offers a relaxed pace of living surrounded by rolling hills and close-knit neighbors.
