Whitten is a small town with wide-open horizons, neighborly rhythms, and easy connections to the wider region. Set in Hardin County, residents enjoy a straightforward commute to work or weekend errands in Eldora or Marshalltown, while coming home to quiet streets, big-sky sunsets, and the kind of community where people know one another by name.
Families are served by the BCLUW Community School District, where close-knit classrooms and active programs help students thrive. Learn more about academics, activities, and the Comets spirit through the official BCLUW Community School District website. Secondary campuses in Union and Conrad keep school events close to home, and graduates looking to upskill have an accessible pathway at Marshalltown Community College.
Outdoor time comes easy here. Pine Lake State Park offers wooded trails, beach access, and year-round fishing through the Iowa DNR’s official park page. The Iowa River Greenbelt is a local favorite for paddling and wildlife watching, with trailheads and preserves stewarded by Hardin County Conservation. Scenic drives along the Iowa River Scenic Byway showcase prairies, bluffs, and historic bridges. Each summer, the Hardin County Fair brings carnival lights, livestock shows, and grandstand events to the calendar.
