Hansell, IA

united states

Hansell is a tiny farming community in north-central Iowa with just 83 residents, sitting amid the rolling corn and soybean fields of Franklin County. You'll reach it via Highway 3 and county roads, about 10 miles northwest of Hampton where you'll find the nearest airport and most services. It's a quick drive to Interstate 35 for longer trips to Des Moines or Mason City. The town's preserved 1885 one-room schoolhouse stands as a piece of Iowa's rural education history.
