The town of Moravia (population 750) is located in scenic southern Iowa about an hour and a half from Des Moines. Moravia is situated in one of the prime hunting and fishing areas in the United States. Lake Rathbun (Iowa’s ocean) and Lake Sundown are both within five miles of town. Don’t let the size of our town fool you. We have a well established reputation as a place where the so called “lost arts” are still practiced.
Moravia boasts over seventy small businesses and is home to a variety of artisans. We have doll makers, quilters, carpenters, painters, printers, railroaders, historians, upholsterers, gravestone restorers, all of whom are past masters in their crafts.
Though Moravia is primarily an agricultural community, our close proximity to the towns of Centerville, Albia, Bloomfield, and Ottumwa ensures that something is always going on. Please check out the events calendar for more information concerning our day-to-day activities. We hope you will stop by for a visit to the little town of Moravia Iowa.
