| In the scenic hills of Southern Iowa lies one Amish
community near Drakesville, Iowa in Davis county. Located 7 miles northwest of Bloomfield, Drakesville at one time was a thriving community. Like many small towns, the population dwindled as businesses found it hard to compete with the large chain stores. Recently, Drakesville has experienced a growth in both business and population. Much of this is due to many of the Amish either moving into the area, or not leaving as they grow. |
