About this city
Also known as: The Farm Toy Capital of the World
Dyersville is a scenic, deeply iconic rural valley community nestled beautifully in the rolling agricultural farmlands of eastern Iowa, about 25 miles west of Dubuque. Settled in the 1840s by conservative German and English Catholic farmers, the town is dominated by its soaring historic basilica that rises dramatically over the cornfields. Dyersville has achieved immortal global cultural fame as the real-world filming location for the legendary 1989 Universal Pictures sports fantasy film 'Field of Dreams,' anchoring America's deep love for baseball.
