A Rich History and Vibrant Future
Woodbine’s historic downtown district has undergone major construction and rehabilitation activity in the last decade. Woodbine is proud of its progressive economic climate, first-rate education system, city-owned utilities and a variety of housing choices. Many community groups and civic organizations support fine arts, athletics, and special community events such as the annual Western Iowa Applefest and the Woodbine Rodeo. A walk-able city, Woodbine is proud to host one of the longest original brick stretches of the Historic Lincoln Highway. Nearby recreation areas offer nature trails, camping, swimming, picnicking, & fishing. For golfing enthusiasts, there is Shadow Valley Golf Course, a beautiful 9-hole course. A gateway to the scenic Loess Hills, Woodbine sits at the junction of two Iowa Byways: The Western Skies Byway and the Lincoln Highway Byway.
