Very enjoyable weekend getaway. Would recommend going on Friday, stay at the Hotel Manning, and then spend the day seeing the villages on Saturday. Most shops close Saturday at 5PM and are not open on Sundays. Visit their website to see if there are weekend events. Overall a great weekend!

My wife and I absolutely love this area. The scenery is beautiful, roads are good, people are wonderful. We've had a great weekend. The Fall festival events in Keosauqua are really fun. The parade this morning was very enjoyable. The food, vendors, crafts, antiques make for a great combination. It's been a great time.
