Residents of Mason City enjoy the quality of life in a small-town atmosphere while enjoying the amenities of cities much larger in size.  Located in North Central Iowa, it is the center of activity between Minneapolis and Des Moines. Known for its strong musical tradition, Mason City (also known as ‘River City’), was the hometown and inspiration for Meredith Wilson’s Broadway musical, “The Music Man.” The first annual North Iowa Band Festival marched down the street in 1936 and is still marching today. This popular annual tradition draws bands from across the region to compete in the marching competition.

Here, you will also find a rich architectural heritage. It is home to the Rock Glen and Rock Crest National Historic district, the largest collection of Frank Lloyd Wright prairie-style homes in a natural setting in the world.  The only remaining Frank Lloyd Wright designed hotel (Park Inn Hotel) has completed its renovations and is now open for tours. Mason City is the largest shopping hub in North Central Iowa. Along with numerous venues to shop, it also offers many dining options with a wide range of food choices, which will be sure to satisfy any taste bud. Mason City has a long history, but an even brighter future!
