"Field of Dreams" For Sale

From the Winona Daily News:

The owners of the Iowa site where the ``Field of Dreams'' movie was filmed have put the place up for sale.

Don and Becky Lansing say they love the land, which has been in Don Lansing's family for more than a century, but they think its time to give it up.

The movie, released in 1989 with Kevin Costner as its star, was based on the book ``Shoeless Joe'' by W.P. Kinsella. The site has been a popular tourist destination ever since, with the family maintaining the baseball diamond built by Universal Studios.

The Lansings haven't listed a price for the baseball diamond, two-bedroom house, six outbuildings and 193 acres.

I hope that the field remains there since it is a popular tourist stop and it is nice to have that link between the Midwest and Hollywood. Perhaps the film is old enough and significant enough that a case can be made for protecting it as a historical landmark.
