Since the McCone family opened the “field of dreams” to the public, as
an exhibit and a bed & breakfast, the response has been overwhelming.
It is no surprise to Stan McCone, the builder, because he had the vision
for his “field of dreams”. Rather, his wife, his children, his friends,
his neighbors, and his community are totally amazed.
Thousands of visitors have walked through Stan McCone’s
“field of dreams”; hundreds of people have been overnight guests. Not just
historians, but also prairie enthusiasts, garden clubs, and birders. Not
just senior citizens, but also shool children and homeshoolers. Not just
Laura Ingalls Wilder fans, but also “Little House on the Prairie” TV
fans.
Over the years, the media has come to the “field of dreams”.
The History Channel, as part of their award winning series, “Save Our
History”, came to the sod house to film a segment for their newest
documentary called “Frontier Homes”, first aired in February 2000. Most
recently, November of 2002, the Environmental Journal filmed a feature
story.
