Review:
Known for being home to 6 historic covered bridges, Madison County is a truly beautiful part of rural Iowa. The bridges are the focal point of the trip for most visitors; it's easy to see them all in half a day if you have a car, but make sure to leave time to walk around and snap some photos. If you're interested in seeing what else the county has to offer, you can also browse the shops in downtown Winterset, sample the handcrafted cider at the Winterset Cidery, and visit the legendary John Wayne Birthplace & Museum.
