Living The DreamVISITOR’S GUIDE

Field of Dreams Movie Site

Journey to the real place in the land mistaken for heaven – Dyersville! Located on Highways 20 and 136, Dyersville is Iowa and the Midwest at its finest. Founded in 1848 by Englishman, James J. Dyer, Dyersville is a rapidly growing city of 4,200 that combines history, tradition and breathtaking scenery.

You’ll see why Dyersville is known as the “Farm Toy Capital of the World” when you retrace and retread tractor history at the National Farm Toy Museum. From miniature to grandeur, the Basilica of St. Francis Xavier will leave you in awe of the beauty of the late 1880’s Gothic architecture church. Ghosts still appear out of the corn at the site where a baseball field was carved out of a cornfield in the iconic movie “Field of Dreams.”
