Home of the Midwest old threshers festival great place to bring the family. Located in Mt pleasant Iowa. Midwest old threshers is an incredible sight to see when it's in full swing. Teaming with activities for everyone. The event features an old west town complete with old saloon and church bank and jail. Stop by and watch the bank robbery and gun fight or stop in to the general store for some treats from the past. This event also features an antique car barn, livestock barns, grandstands that have concert's and antique tractor shows. Visit the little prairie town and Indian village or the steam engine barn. With everything going on there you can always take a break and ride one of the free shuttle buses to historic downtown Mt pleasant and enjoy the local shops or the town square Is full of vendors selling Art's and Craft's. The town usually has tons of garage and tag sales. Camping is offered at the fair grounds but that usually fills up fast so plan in advance for lodging. This historic event happens at the beginning of September and will definitely leave...

   Read moreSo much fun, and so much stuff to do here. Ran around with my kiddo, a friend and her kiddo too. The carousel was fun with all the creepy decorations! The train was also great! Be careful if you have kids which side you sit on, though. We sat on the far side when we entered the train, and the exhibition was less scary than on the other side (my friend and I took peeks at the other side). The trolley was fun, too! Some fun things to see, and the headless horseman was great, and really cool! Our kids also completely wore themselves out in the indoor bouncy place. Be sure that you bring warm enough clothes; my thin hoodie was not quite enough! Definitely recommend this place, especially for Halloween. I look forward to seeing the holiday...
