Adair County Court House

Founded in 1856, Greenfield is the county seat for Adair County. The town features a “European  Style Square.” All streets lead to the middle of the square, in which the beautiful historic courthouse is centered.

One of the exciting buildings on the square is the E. E. Warren Opera House, which is currently undergoing a complete restoration. It should be complete in the near future and will be a cultural magnet for this area of the state. Built in the nineteenth century, many unusual features, recently rediscovered during renovation tell a fascinating story about this wonderful old buildings past.

E. E. Warren Opera House

The Andrews Memorial Community Center housing the Adair County YMCA was opened in 2003. The senior meal site is located in the same building  as is the American Legion. This cooperative effort was funded in part by a “Vision Iowa” grant.

Greenfield has many beautiful City Parks, two of which contain lakes, and one of which has overnight camping.  Lake Greenfield is a 236-acre park, with a boat ramp, fishing, sailing, shelter houses, picnic tables, grills, sand volleyball, frisbee golf, and a playground.  There is a 2-mile paved walking trail around the 44-acre lake.
