User Rating 4 rating By Anonymous ( May 16, 2018) Newtown, Iowa is one of those little towns you think it's impossible to find these days, but really we're just a well-kept secret!

We have some amazing schools, gorgeous places to ...Read More live thanks to the people here who take pride in their homes, gardens, all that good stuff, and we have jobs for anyone who comes looking.

If you're looking for something fun to do here we have the Rusty Wallace Racing Experience out at the Iowa Speedway, Trainland USA, the Iowa State Fair (I haven't missed a year yet!, the Newtown Mall for some great shopping, and the extremely popular International Wrestling Institute and Museum. There are some good local cafes and shops to enjoy as well, but don't take my word for it - come see for yourself! Read Less
