About this city
Greenfield is a charming, beautifully preserved rural prairie town positioned flatly on the high agricultural plateau of Adair County in southwestern Iowa. Laid out meticulously in 1856, the town is built entirely around an iconic, wide grassy public square that hosts an expansive collection of mid-19th-century brick commercial buildings. Greenfield serves as an authentic heartland living history museum, famous for its deep aviation heritage and its classic small-town aesthetics that have captured the eye of Hollywood filmmakers looking to define the rural American experience.
