Great Western Bike Trail After the Chicago and Western Railroad abandoned their rail lines running from Martensdale through Cumming to Des Moines, Iowa, surrounding communities pitched together to convert them to nature trails shared by both hikers and bicycle enthusiasts. These asphalt paved trails wander through the rolling Iowa hills past prairie and wetland areas that highlight Iowa's diverse ecological habitats.

St. Patrick's Irish Settlement Church Built around 1870, St. Patricks Irish Settlement Church replaced the early log church that was constructed by the initial settlers of the Cumming area.

St. Johns Cemetery In the mid 1800's, early Iowa territory settlers created a resting place for their companions that they called St. John's Cemetery. Over the past century and a half, this quaint cemetery has interred numerous members of some of Iowa's founding families. Today, you can still pay your respects to the hardworking visionaries that broke the virgin soil of Warren County, and turned it into some of the most productive farmland in the world.
