Crawford County, Iowa
Crawford County rolls across western Iowa’s Loess Hills. Denison, the county seat, embraces its role as “Home of Donna Reed,” the actress from “It’s a Wonderful Life.”
The Yellow Smoke Park outside Denison is a local favorite for hiking and fishing. Buck Grove, one of Iowa’s tiniest towns, throws a big shindig each Labor Day weekend.
The county has a population of about 17,000 and is rich in agricultural heritage. U.S. Highway 30 crosses through Crawford County, linking it to the broader region while keeping its small-town feel intact.
