Templeton blends small-town character with a story that’s anything but ordinary. Known for its Prohibition-era whiskey heritage, today you can experience that history firsthand at the visitor center and tasting room at the Templeton Distillery, a local landmark that draws fans from across the region. Everyday living here is relaxed and neighborly, with easy drives to the shops, dining, and services in nearby Manning and Carroll, plus trails, ballfields, and community events that make weekends feel full without feeling busy.
Families appreciate the strong school options serving the area. The IKM-Manning Community School District offers close-knit classrooms and robust extracurriculars, while the Kuemper Catholic School System in Carroll provides a respected private alternative. Healthcare needs are well covered, too, with St. Anthony Regional Hospital just up the road, and county services and outdoor amenities coordinated through Carroll County.
What truly sets Templeton apart is its sense of pride and place: block-party-style celebrations, church suppers, and a shared commitment to keeping local traditions alive while welcoming new residents. Whether you’re drawn by heritage spirits, the convenience of regional employers, or the appeal of quiet streets and open skies, Templeton makes it easy to feel at home.
