==Features and attractions== The Regional Wellness Center was a joint project of Estherville Lincoln Central Community School District and the National Guard. Beyond standard gym equipment, the facility boasts an indoor track, pools with slides, and multiple group fitness classes. Estherville is home to a renovated [[Carnegie Library]]. Its services include free public wireless internet. The intersection of Iowa Highways 4 and 9 features a statue of the Estherville [[Estherville, Iowa#Meteorite|meteorite]] breaking up in flight. [[Fort Defiance State Park]] offers a variety of hiking and horseback trails, a campsite and outdoor meeting areas. The park was named after a military fort constructed in Estherville in 1863 in response to the [[Dakota War of 1862]]. After the 1862 conflict began, the Iowa Legislature authorized “not less than 500 mounted men from the frontier counties at the earliest possible moment, and to be stationed where most needed”, this number was soon reduced. No fighting took place in Iowa, the Dakota uprising led to the rapid expulsion of the few unassimilated Native Americans left there. Today Fort Defiance State Park covers 191 acres and is governed by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources. The park is home to numerous Whitetail Deer.
