Where was John Wayne born?

Last updated January 4, 2021 by ZagBot Comment

American actor John Wayne was born in a house on South 2nd Street in Winterset, Iowa, on May 26th, 1907.

Born Marion Robert Morrison, he only spent a few early years in Winterset, where his father was a pharmacist, before the family moved, eventually settling in Southern California.

The house still stands today and has been restored to reflect its appearance in 1907. The John Wayne Birthplace Museum is located nearby at the corner of John Wayne Drive and Washington Street, and offers self-guided tours of the birthplace house and museum.
