"My wife and I recently received a tour of the Corning Opera House. We were enchanted by our tour guide, who told us about the buildings illustrious past. There were many stories from both the past and present, all of which were well told. The Opera House itself is well kept and professional, a true testament to the importance of historic preservation. If you're ever in southwest Iowa, please be sure to schedule a tour. You won't regret it!" - John B
