Welcome to the Minburn Community Betterment Group website.
Minburn, A Small Town with a Big Heart, is enjoying an eventful 2008. Whether you're from the area or are looking at exploring life in a small town, you'll want to make a stop in Minburn.
See the Announcements page to learn about the BUSEUM, the traveling WWI POW exhibit that will visit Minburn on Friday, November 21.
Join us for a Coffeehouse on Saturday, November 15 with BeJae Fleming and her band. It's our final Meet Me in Minburn concert for 2008. Masterful musicians found their way to Minburn and the community, through many generous sponsors, supported Iowa arts and culture. We'll have delicious refreshments - free will donation for all.
The Minburn Community Betterment Group is making progress on restoring the historic Minburn Depot and create a trail head for the Raccoon River Bike Trail expansion. The Minburn Depot is worth saving so if you would like to help or have stories about the Minburn Depot please email meetme@minburn.org. See "Our Community" area for meeting times.
Minburn skaters had fun this summer on the old rink. The roller rink was once home to the "Singing Wheels", a group of up to 150 talented towns people and performed in the 50's bringing up 10,000 people to Minburn over a three day period with their musicial performance on wheels.
Minburn offers two B&Bs, Purviance Farm west of Minburn and opening in July, Creative Hearts Inn and Retreat, "Where hearts create works of art." We welcome people to stay awhile and enjoy some small town hospitality.
There are many other places to visit in the area and you will find them on Our Community page with contact information. Please keep checking back and welcome to Minburn.
Thanks,
MCBG
