Charlotte, IA

united states

Charlotte is a tiny farming town in eastern Iowa, about 45 miles northwest of the Quad Cities via Highway 136. Most visitors arrive from Interstate 80 or Highway 30, connecting through rural roads that wind past corn and soybean fields. The town sits in rolling prairie country typical of eastern Iowa, with continental weather that brings hot summers and snowy winters. Charlotte's claim to fame is its preserved 1876 one-room schoolhouse, a genuine piece of frontier Iowa history.
