Guthrie Center is NOT the birthplace of John Wayne – that would be Winterset which is 50 miles SE.

That’s what it says. The family moved to Guthrie Center a bit later.

I have lived in the area for 40 years and have never heard of any connection between John Wayne and Guthrie Center. What you posted says the house he was born in is in Guthrie – not true, it’s in Winterset.

Yes, but read on. The birthplace house is now in Guthrie Center. John wayne “was born in Winterset, Iowa, but his family moved to a farm near Guthrie Center when he was a child. The house where he was born has been relocated to the Guthrie County Historical Village in Guthrie Center, where it is preserved as a museum.”
