“Is this Heaven?” “No, it's Iowa.” So goes the dialogue in Kevin Costners 1989 Academy Award nominee movie Field of Dreams. And in Dyersville, Iowa, at the Lansing family farm was where the movie makers decided to carve a baseball diamond from a corn field to make a movie about pursuing a dream, no matter how much effort it takes.

This simple baseball field is a place of pilgrimage for many fans of America’s favourite summer sporting pastime, as well as many who were inspired by the movie.
