Start Exploring

What's there to do in a small town in Western Iowa?  PLENTY!  For most, Iowa is a hidden bargain that hasn't yet been discovered. If you're visiting from out-of-town, stroll down our historic Main Street, check out the Hausbarn Heritage Park or our beautiful City or County parks, do some shopping and grab a bite to eat, hit the golf course, or just wander around and get to know the locals.  If you're from Manning, you already know you can join in on a basketball or volleyball game at the Rec Center, grab some fresh produce at the Farmers Market, watch a Wolves sporting game, or join some friends for live music at one of the local bars.
