A famous small town in Iowa is in the spotlight for national recognition.

You can't go anywhere without seeing someone you know. The towns look like a Hallmark movie around the holidays. Cute and classic and a reason to love the Midwest.

Currently, Dyersville is at the top of the voting leaderboard. The description of Dyersville from USA Today says:

Long before “Field of Dreams” put Dyersville on the map in 1989, it was a homey small farm town with plenty of things to see and do. From the National Farm Toy Museum and racetracks to numerous parks and antique shops, there's something for everyone here. And, of course, the field and farmhouse that served as the backdrop for the famous film remain and are open for tours – and a little dreaming of seeing the ghosts of baseball’s past.

Deadline To Vote

Trailing behind Dyersville is Bayfield, Wisconsin, currently in second place. Voting for Best Midwestern Small Town ends on February 20th at noon.
