Tiny Kimballton, Iowa was founded in 1883 and settled by immigrants from Denmark. A little park with a fountain and an exact replica of the famous Little Mermaid statue that sits on the waterfront in Copenhagen, Denmark has been built on Main Street. The statue represents the mermaid from the fairy tale The Little Mermaid written by Danish author Hans Christian Andersen. Small statues depicting other fairy tales written by Andersen are positioned along a walkway that circles the fountain.
The park is accessible.
RVs can be parked on the street. Statue 41.62978, -95.07252
