Spellbox and John Wayne
Among the endless cornfields is a quaint town untouched by time.
Winterset, Iowa, the home of Marion Robert Morrison, better known to the world as John Wayne. The mere mention of his name produces images of courage and patriotism.
His home where he was born and raised is still intact and preserved to look as good as it did the day it was built. It and its gift shop are run by stuffy older ladies who DO NOT approve of colorful folk comin in and stinkin up the joint (like Spellbox). We had lots of fun playing with the toys in the gift shop and dancing on the front porch of John Wayne's house.
But should you ever choose to visit, tour admission is $3 for adults, $2.50 for Senior Citizens and $1.00 for children 12 and under. Open All Year. Closed on Holidays.
John Wayne's house is located 14 miles south of I-80 (Exit 110) and 13 miles west of I-35 (Exit 56).
