Perry, my photos were indeed taken in November of 2009, which was the first time I encountered Adel. (If you click on any of the photos, Flickr displays the exact date they were taken.)

The one of the courthouse straight-on was taken from the north side, and I wonder if the Veteran’s Monument is showing on the very right edge of the third-to-the-last photo. Apparently the angle for the photos just didn’t include that part of the courthouse square.

Your blog was written November 2009, however, your pictures of the Courthouse are at least 10 years old. That’s about when the Veteran’s Monument was added to the south lawn and it’s not in your pictures.

Yes, definitely come back for the annual Sweet Corn Festival. Small town summer fun at its finest.

And that Cool Beans you photographed? I stop there almost every Saturday morning. Had you kept going about another 6-7 miles south, you would have made it to my town — De Soto.

Glad you enjoyed your visit to the area. Let me know if you are ever around this way again!

You stumbled into a great little town. (Adel was a Tourism Community of the Year in 2008.) You’ll have to venture back for their annual sweet corn feed in August or their Iowa book festival.

Adel is a wonderful small town. I’m glad you found it!
