If you build it....

They will come. Today we did go there...the movie site of Field of Dreams. It looks just like it did when the film was made!!

Here is a picture of the farm house. The fence was added after the movie was made. I think it was put up to keep people away from the house. People do still live there.














This is the ball field from behind home plate.










The bleachers and the outfield.















And the corn fields where the players came from.
This is looking from first base to second base,
while standing by the bleachers.








The field is open and as you can see, several families where playing ball. During the summer, on the last Sunday of the month, the 'ghost players' actually stage a game here. Wish we could have seen that but, again, our timing was off. Maybe we will come back by here next summer! Remember the final scene of the movie, where you see all the lights from the cars coming down the road? The road leading up to the farm is actually like that, two lane country road!
