Corning is in\u00a0Adams County, which has the smallest Iowa county population, approximately 3600 people. Corning is nearly half the county\u2019s population at about 1500.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The town is at about the halfway point of Des Moines, Iowa and Omaha, Nebraska\u2013each about 90 miles away.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">What Makes Corning Iowa Special?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">There are so many things that make Corning Iowa special. One of the first things that comes to mind is how the community comes together to make things happen. Several community members built the\u00a0Corning Hotel. In fact, volunteers run many community organizations and businesses.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Another thing is how friendly the people are. It really shows what small towns are all about. But it also offers things you rarely associate with small towns.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">But perhaps the most important is all the fun options there are for visitors. Something for everyone.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theminnesotatraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Corning.jpg?resize=402%2C430\" alt=\"Downtown Corning, Iowa\" class=\"wp-image-2930\" width=\"402\" height=\"430\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Reasons to Travel to Corning, Iowa<\/h2>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">There are so many reasons to come to Corning. Are you looking for a place to relax? To get away from all the craziness of the world? A place where there are fabulous restaurants? Maybe a place for fun and quaint shops? How about a place to enjoy the outdoors by visiting parks, lakes and trails? Or are you a history buff and want to learn a little more about Corning and Adam\u2019s County history? <\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Corning is your place. <\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">So let\u2019s take a tour . . . <\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">About three miles from Corning is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adamscountyiowa.com\/visit\/americas-french-icarian-village\/\">American French Icarian Village<\/a>. The village is open to the public to visit. <\/p>\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Who are the Icarians?<\/h6>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Icarians were a group of people who were looking for a \u201cutopian\u201d community. The perfect world where all helped each other. No private ownership \u2014 a communal way of life. They originated from France and traveled to the US and arrived in Corning in 1852. Their principal aim was to create a community where all would help with the work and all would share in the wealth.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The Icarian community worked until the younger generation wanted to break away from this type of lifestyle. Currently, there are multiple areas across the US where the Icarians created this type of community.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"2932\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theminnesotatraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Icarian-Village.jpg?w=1290\" alt=\"Icarian Village\" class=\"wp-image-2932\"\/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"2933\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theminnesotatraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Icarian5.jpg?w=1290\" alt=\"Icarian Village\" class=\"wp-image-2933\"\/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"2931\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theminnesotatraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Icarian3.jpg?w=1290\" alt=\"Icarian Village\" class=\"wp-image-2931\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adamscountyiowa.com\/visit\/adam-county-house-of-history\/\">Adams County House of History<\/a> showcases the history of Adams County. It\u2019s important to preserve these memories. The building where the House of History is located served as a jail on the second floor. In fact, they have an original 1890s jail cell. Let\u2019s just say most people don\u2019t realize how small jail cells were back in the day.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"2965\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theminnesotatraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/House-of-History-1.jpg?w=1290\" alt=\"Adams County House of History\" class=\"wp-image-2965\"\/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"2964\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theminnesotatraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/House-of-History2-1.jpg?w=1290\" alt=\"House of History\" class=\"wp-image-2964\"\/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"2963\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theminnesotatraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/jail-cell-1.jpg?w=1290\" alt=\"Old Jail Cell\" class=\"wp-image-2963\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">2) Coffee Shop, Bakery and Restaurants <\/h2>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Being a small town doesn\u2019t mean there are small restaurant offerings. Just the opposite. From a prize-winning bakery, Sweet Desires, to a \u201cfloating\u201d winery, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adamscountyiowa.com\/visit\/corning-winery\/\">Floating Vine Winery<\/a>, to a wonderful Mexican Restaurant, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/LosCatrinesCorning\/\">Los Catrines Mexican Kitchen<\/a> to the top notch <a href=\"https:\/\/primrose-corning.edan.io\">Primrose Restaurant<\/a>, all will satisfy your palate. Lots of fun and delicious options. Most are located on main street. <\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s take a sneak peek into each one of these and note that they are all located, except for the Floating Vine, on main street.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Backgrounds Coffee Shop<\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Located in the back of the <a href=\"https:\/\/hairdesignerssalonspa.com\">Hair Designer<\/a>s store is a small coffee shop, Backgrounds Coffee Shop. You can access it by walking through the Hair Designers store or walking around to the alley. There is a small outdoor eating area which invites you to sit down. They serve coffee, drinks and breakfast sandwiches. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"2955\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theminnesotatraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Coffee-shop.jpg?w=1290\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2955\"\/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"2956\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theminnesotatraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/coffee-shop2.jpg?w=1290\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2956\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-sweet-desires-bakery\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/people\/Sweet-Desires-Bakery\/100055228215751\/\">Sweet Desires Bakery<\/a><\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">An award-winning bakery is a must stop.

Fire and Salt is new to the downtown area and is not your typical meat shop.
