The farm used in Field of Dreams, which is just a couple miles east of Dyersville, Iowa, remains largely as it was when they finished filming. I arrived there right about sunset and the place was pretty deserted. The original owners apparently still live in the farm house, maintain the site, and run a small gift shop (closed by the time I arrived). Somewhat surprising, they don't charge admission to the 65,000 people who come to see the farmhouse & baseball diamond each year. Other than lack of corn on the outfield & powerline running over the infield, it looked just like in the movie. Carved into the bleachers is a heart that says "Ray loves Annie." I don't remember where/if this featured in the movie. I'll have to watch it again to refresh my memory.
