Overview

The county seat of Madison County, Winterset is well-known for its collection of historic covered bridges, which were spotlighted in Clint Eastwood's "The Bridges of Madison County" in 1995. But another actor made Winterset famous first: John Wayne. You can learn more about him at the John Wayne Birthplace and Museum before moving on to the area's history at the Madison County Historical Complex and Iowa Quilt Museum.
