Located in the southern Iowa, Wayne County shares its southern border with Missouri. Contrary to belief, the county does not have an exact rectangular shape, as depicted by most maps. Its southern border is not a true east-west line, which does not make it a perfect rectangle. Its county seat is Corydon, Iowa. The Prairie Trails Museum is located in Corydon and showcases over 25,000 artifacts from the 1800s onwards – a treasure trove for archaeology hobbyists – which is one of the reasons why Wayne County is the best place to retire in Iowa!
