Just an hour from Des Moines, in Marshalltown, is Mysfit Farm’s Haunted Barn. I spent about five or so years working in Marshalltown and did this drive every weekday. That is how I first learned about Trail of Terror near Baxter.
If you are thinking of hitting Trail of Terror, plan some extra time and swing up to Marshalltown for this haunted barn. It’s not too far past Baxter. And, it’s only $10!
No details on it yet, other than it is both indoors and out. Their Facebook page looks fun:
