… take time to explore Winterset…

A great place to visit if you are a John Wayne fan! The museum is nice and the volunteer tour guides are great. After the tour take time to explore Winterset. The downtown courthouse square is beautiful and the stately old homes in this tidy community are beautiful. - John W.

… they did John Wayne proud.

We were there for the grand opening and it was fabulous!!! We met and spoke with Aissa, his daughter and also Chris Mitchum, Robert Mitchum's son. She was the sweetest lady and cried when they spoke of her dad. It was precious. Later had dinner with all of them with Marty Stuart and Connie Smith as entertainment. It was a great time. I highly recommend going, they did John Wayne proud. Also visit his homeplace while there. - Nessie56
