Even after Christmas has come and gone, the months of winter ahead can be truly magical times in Iowa. Some of our small towns look incredible under a blanket of snow, and the whole atmosphere is almost supernaturally peaceful at times. This tends to be a time of lower travel and tourism, so many of the busy local destinations are easy to get into and extra welcoming. A perfect example of this is Fairfield, Iowa in winter. The laid-back Jefferson County town of under 10,000 people is a bit of a humble dining and arts destination, and also has some stunning small-town parks that look gorgeous clad in white. This is the perfect time to put on a winter jacket and go exploring. You might just find that a winter small-town getaway is just the ticket to fend off those cold-weather blues.
