We have a strong sense of community pride to make this community of 4,035 an exciting and a dynamic area to live, work and play. It is rich in history and its beauty can be seen in the Basilica of St. Francis Xavier. This Catholic church has gothic architecture that will take your breath away and is only one of 52 in the United States. Dyersville is proud to be the home of the Academy Award nominated film "Field of Dreams".  Dyersville is also known as the "Farm Toy Capital of the World" for its 3 toy companies: RC2 (formerly Racing Champions Ertl), Scale Models and SpecCast. If you have never been to the National Farm Toy Show, the "granddaddy of 'em all," we have something for you to experience! Manufacturing is also alive and well and shown in Modernfold, Scale Models and All American Homes just to name a few!
