The Plane Crash Site of Buddy Holly still remains the same lonely spot within a massive Iowa field as it was back in 1959. For locals or tourists who want to visit the site, the access point is marked by a large pair of Buddy Holly trademark eyeglasses along a farm road. The walk is a bit long from the road to the actual crash site, however, the bare section of dirt that’s in front of the Plane Crash Site of Buddy Holly memorial shows that there are quite a number of fan who make the trip.
