Awesome experience, ladies working inside were great fun and knowledgeable, helped us get dressed up for a picture, no charge but be sure and drop some dough in the box so we don't lose this little piece of history
Well worth the trip. You can't actually go in the house but that is fine since the exterior is what is famous. Nice welcome center adjacent to it. They have a great set up that provides easy on and off costumes, plus pitch forks, so you can stand in front of the house to recreate the iconic painting. Staff will take your picture or you can take your own.. Nice museum and gift shop too.
Came back the next day, but had just missed the visitor center hours so we borrowed the pitchfork from the statue to recreate the famous Painting. Well; if you ever are in the area, i'd recommend it. But it's a long drive from anywhere else notable to go see. And there really isn't anything else out there but corn fields and silos.
I pulled up at this place in the middle of the night bumping Kendrick Lamar. Felt like I was the only person in the world. Spooky and fun to see at night.
Super cool place to visit. Not somewhere that you would spend a whole day out though. A nice quick trip.
Very nice facility about the works and life of Grant Wood. A wonderful treasure for the town of Eldon. Very professional staff willing to answer any questions the other guests or myself had. There is good signage from the main road. I was able to get thru the parking lot with a pickup and trailer, a large motorhome or travel trailer might prove to be more difficult.
Definitely check it out at night if you are driving past it. It's only a two minute drive off the highway.
