Iowa nestles in the Midwestern region of the United States. A bucolic land of rolling farmland, the "Hawkeye State" is embroidered with historic cities and picture-perfect rural towns. Bordered by the Mississippi River to the east and the Missouri River to the west, Iowa's countryside is peppered with windmills and spanned by covered bridges. Further defining its character are a collection of museums, art centers, and natural wonders that combine to make Iowa a popular cultural and outdoor tourism vacation option.
