Earlham

Earlham straddles rolling prairie in central Iowa, where agriculture and east–west travel have long shaped local life. The North River flows through Madison County south of town, while cultivated fields, tree lines and low hills define the surrounding countryside. Earlham was named for Earlham College in Richmond, Indiana, reflecting the Quaker influence among its early settlers. The route of former U.S. Highway 6, known here as the White Pole Road, connects the community with one of Iowa’s classic cross-state drives. Madison County is also associated with the covered bridges celebrated by The Bridges of Madison County. Browse other webcams across Iowa to place Earlham in a wider geographic context.
