Eldora, Iowa: Twister Movie House

Two-story wood frame home survived the elements on the silver screen. Wasn't looking too good in real life until it got hit with a whirlwind of renovations, and now prefers privacy over movie fandom.

"Twister" Movie House

The house used in the final scenes of the movie "Twister" has been preserved in its "post-tornado" condition and is currently used as a bed and breakfast and RV and trailer park site. Trees are just now recovering from having been stripped for the film; a demolished barn sits on the site. Tours are offered for $2 a person.
