Shockingly, Carroll is the county seat of Carroll county. We drive through here all the time on the way to visit Laura's family in western Iowa. Seems like a nice town, too bad about the courthouse though.

Carroll County is also where the city of Templeton is and thus the source of Templeton Rye Whiskey (sort of). The story goes that Al Capone was a big fan of "The Good Stuff" which is the main selling point of the whiskey. The distillery has had some
bad press lately, but word is they're trying to move everything to Templeton and make right. The truth is, while not my favorite Iowa Whiskey (that would be
Cedar Ridge) it's not bad. The story is still pretty good too.
