  • Field of Dreams has always been one of my favorite movies, and getting to explore where they filmed the movie was a lot of fun! It is located just outside the town of Dyersville, Iowa. Obviously the playing field and the corn field is iconic. The house still sits nearby. And there is a great gift shop full of things to help remember the trip. I was lucky enough to play around on the field, hit a home run, and have a catch! What a great day at the Field of Dreams!

    Feels great to be back in Iowa, even if it was only through watching your video! I lived in Louisa County, which is down the Mississippi River past Muscatine. Never made the trip up to see the Field of Dreams even though I had wanted to. Thank you for taking us along once again. Someone was manufacturing license plate frames with the line from the movie, "Is this heaven? No it's Iowa" on it. Never put it on my car, but have it framing a 1958 Iowa license plate numbered 58-1890. Grandpa Fullerton was born in 1890, and had that plate for many years. The 58 was Louisa County's designation number. One game we played on a trip was seeing how many of Iowa's 99 counties we could see on the trip. We never found all 99 on one trip. But by starting out in Louisa County, we automatically had Iowa's smallest county.
    Thanks once more for another wonderful video!

    One of my all-time favorite movies. One of the best guy cry movies ever. While I have not been to the Field of Dreams site I have been to Galena, Illinois which is about 40 miles to the east of Dyersville on U.S. 20. Not only is Galena a very interesting town with a very interesting history in its own right, it is also where the Chisholm, MN scenes of the movie were filmed when Ray and Terrence Mann were searching for and initially met Doc Graham. I think you would enjoy a visit to Galena if you're up that way again.

    Awesome video!!! Was up that way in early 2000s and saw signs pointing the way to this area. Really had no interest in visiting but figured what the heck, at least I can say I visited the place where the movie was filmed. Arrived site and only planned on about a 15-minute visit. Nope, about 2.5 hours later was still exploring the field. Nice to see there is a good-sized visitor's center/gift shop now. When I visited it was just a little shack large enough for about 5 people to enter sort of comfortably. Also, that larger field did not exist back then.
    If you ever get up to Devil's Tower, WY, the KOA Campground is where part of the movie "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" was filmed. If you ever seen the movie, it is where the Army base was with the helicopters. Also, if you take the 3-mile hiking trail, you can see areas where the movie was filmed as well when the army dismounted troops were searching for people. Also, also, the campground will play the movie ever night as well.

    If you want a bonus, the guys that do the show American PIckers? Their store is based in LeClaire, Iowa. I have been there too with my brother and mom, but to be honest that place was pretty disappointing at least to me. Just thought I'd throw it out there if you had an interest.

    "Cold and windy" hasn't been like that for a couple weeks now. Today's high supposed to be 68. Friday though a cool front and highs in the upper 40s but for the last couple weeks highs in the 60s to near 70! Was wondering what happened to fall!
