Route & Villages

A Patchwork of Iowa Roads.

Historic routes, village hospitality and scenic southeast Iowa roads shape the Red Flag Motor Tour experience year after year.

Village Route

Historic Motoring Through Southeast Iowa.

The route is designed around more than travel. It connects drivers and spectators with local communities, historic places and the rhythm of rural Iowa roads.

Each annual route may change, but the spirit remains the same: early motoring, hospitality and community pride.
