    Field of DreamsFilm & TV LocationsAnchor

    The Lansing family's farm outside Dyersville, where in 1988 a film crew cut a baseball diamond out of the corn and then left it there. The farmhouse is the farmhouse. The corn is the corn — you can walk into it and come back out, and everyone does. It is free, it is somebody's front yard, and grown adults cry in it about their fathers.
