Boone

Boone has served as a railroad town in central Iowa since the late 19th century. Set on the uplands above the Des Moines River valley, it developed on the Chicago & North Western Railway, whose rail heritage still shapes the town’s identity. The Boone & Scenic Valley Railroad operates excursion trains from Boone, while the nearby Kate Shelley High Bridge recalls the local railway story and the 1881 rescue for which Shelley is remembered. Downtown Boone provides the civic core of this county seat. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of central Iowa.
