The city of Boone is the seat of Boone County, laid out in March of 1865. Originally named Montana, it was eventually changed to Boone in 1871. A city with a little over 12,000 residents is known for many things, but one of its main attractions is the Boone & Scenic Valley Railroad. Boone, often referred to as “The Railroad Capital of Iowa” has had trains traveling through since the 1800s. Located between Boone and Ogden is the Bass Point Creek High Bridge, rising 156 feet, it is the highest steel interurban railroad bridge in the United States.

Whether you need entertainment for the day or to fill a whole week, there is always something to see. From the historical attractions to the fast paced auto racing at the Boone Speedway, the relaxing sounds of the Boone Municipal Band or a fun filled weekend at the annual Pufferbilly Days Festival in September.

Boone and Boone County have a wide variety of attractions and activities for all ages. You can ride the train at the Boone & Scenic Valley Railroad, spend a hot afternoon at Boone Municipal Pool, tour Mamie Doud Eisenhower’s Birthplace, or visit McHose Park, Ledges State Park or one of the many other city or county parks.

And some of Boone County's attractions are geared for any season of the year. The trees at the Iowa Arboretum are a gorgeous display year round; ski and tube in the winter or rent a canoe in the summer at Seven Oaks.
