Welcome to Adams County: Always Compelling
Upcoming Events
Adams County may be a small county, with only about 4,000 residents, but it harnesses an immense creative energy that defines this community.
Fueled by cultural experiences, outdoor recreational activities, diverse healthcare options, a top-notch destination school, and enthusiastic people this community creates opportunities for entrepreneurs, visitors, alumni, artists and retirees.
In the center of a “triangle of opportunity” (Omaha, Nebraska; Kansas City, Missouri; and Des Moines, Iowa) you can work, raise a family, or retire in a beautiful, rural setting while having 3 Metros within a 1 ½ to 2-hour drive with malls, theater, and airports that reach the world.
The creative energy and great leadership of the community bring experiences beyond expectations. Peruse this website or visit one of our three Facebook pages to learn more.
See you soon in Adams County, Iowa!

And the Adopt-a-Pot winners are… DRUMROLL, PLEASE! 🥁
🥇 1st Place — Aspire
🥈 2nd Place — Union State Bank
🥉 3rd Place — Los Catrines Mexican Kitchen
Congratulations to our winners! 🎉
We had some beautiful, creative, and colorful pots throughout downtown. These plants definitely had to work for it this summer with all the crazy weather we’ve experienced! Despite the weather wreaking havoc on our flowers, everyone did an amazing job keeping their pots looking great and helping add a little extra color and charm to our downtown.
Congratulations again to our top three, and thank you to everyone who helped make this year’s Adopt-a-Pot program a success!
