The DM register awhile back offered some suggestions for a road trip in Winterset, beyond visiting the famous covered bridges of Madison County so here they be:
– Heavenly Habitat Bed and Breakfast – the name apparently stems from its former life as a Lutheran church. There’s two rooms available plus a shop selling shabby chic antiques. It’s at 218 S. Ave.
– Fons and Porter Quilt supply – run by two women who have a magazine, mail-order biz and quilting show on Iowa Public TV. 54 Court St.
– Rudy’s – a western-themed restaurant on, where else, John Wayne Drive (an homage to Winterset’s famous native son.). offers chicken and noodles, meatloaf, homemade pie and the like. (Could it have a better small town ambiance than the Northside Cafe, of “Bridges of Madison County” movie fame?)
I am still trying to remember the name of a business that sells antiques and old farm stuff every once in awhile in a barn somewhere in Madison County. If anyone out there can recall the name or details, please help me out!
