Welcome to Buchanan County, Iowa ...

...a place rich in resources, history, heritage, architecture, and good old-fashioned family fun! The beautiful Wapsipinicon River, coursing from northwest to southeast through the county, creates a scenic backdrop to this thriving agricultural area.  Historic Route 20 crosses the county east to west, providing access to historic and architectural sites along the way. And Highway 150 North is the southern gateway to Northeast Iowa, one of the state's most diverse regions, both in landscape and cultural opportunities. Outdoor enthusiasts, sightseers, avid shoppers, and those in search of country life will all find Buchanan County a great place to visit.

We invite you to explore our website to get a taste of what Buchanan County has to offer. Or, visit our tourism center housed in the historic Illinois Central Railroad Depot located at 1111 5th Ave. NE in Independence along Highway 150N.  If you have questions, don't hesitate to contact us. We will be happy to help you plan your visit.
