Nestled in Mason City, Iowa, lies a one-of-a-kind art haven unlike any other – Rancho Deluxe. This ever-evolving wonderland is the brainchild of local resident Max Weaver, a self-proclaimed "dumpster diving" artist with a knack for transforming discarded treasures into captivating works of art.

Origins and Restoration

The Cannonball 457 is a 1912 railroad steam engine that stands as a testament to the golden age of rail travel. Built by the Minneapolis & St. Louis Railway, this locomotive has a rich history that spans decades. After years of service, it was eventually retired and found its way to Mason City, Iowa.
