Do you know Winterset Iowa and Marion Robert Morrison ?

http://www.johnwaynebirthplace.org/This is a place very worth the trip. Winterset is the birthplace of Marion Robert Morrison. You don’t know him? I bet you know John Wayne. They are the same. John changed his name for the movies. He was born in Winterset in 1907 in a small home.

                                                        


The home now is used for a museum and it is very nice to see. There are many, many movie pictures and artifacts about John in his movie career.

Winterset is also located in Madison County Iowa. Madison County was made quite famous for the “Covered Bridges of Madison County” movie, starring Meryl Streep and Clint Eastwood.

They have a tour that goes to all the bridges or you can drive to them yourself with a map.

Winterset also claims to be the birthplace of the Delicious Apple Pie. Trust me this is a nice place to visit.
