Decorah

Decorah has served as the county seat of Winneshiek County in northeast Iowa since the mid-19th century. The Upper Iowa River cuts through the city, where limestone bluffs and wooded slopes distinguish it from much of the surrounding farm country. Decorah is closely associated with Norwegian-American heritage: Vesterheim, the National Norwegian-American Museum and Folk Art School, preserves immigrant stories, objects and craft traditions. Luther College, founded in 1861, gives the community a longstanding academic presence. Parks and trails follow the river corridor and connect town life with the Driftless Area’s rugged terrain.
