Belmond

Belmond is located along Highway 69 in North Central Iowa and started as a settlement in 1856, and was incorporated in 1881 when the railroad was established.  Visitors stop in for an award-winning pork tenderloin sandwich at The Belmond Drive-In, or to shop while strolling under the shade provided by the unique arcade along Main Street, which is also known for its festive holiday light decor.

Other favorite activities include catching a first-rate movie at the New Lyric Theatre for only $2 or $3, playing pickleball at our community park, and walking the Franklin Grove Heritage Trail which offers gorgeous wildflowers and wildlife views!
