The county history of 1911 has no passage naming this settlement, which was common for the smaller places. Its township is covered in full.

The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 13 fires within 5 miles of Winterset between 2009 and 2019, burning about 11 acres in total. None started naturally. 3 were recorded as arson. Distance is straight-line from the map coordinates, so a fire counted here may appear on a neighbouring settlement's page as well.

The most recent of them, most recent first, with the day each was reported and the service that recorded it.

Settlements close enough to share some of these fires:

• Antrim
• Birmingham
• Brady
• Clio (historical)
• Easton
• Elizabethtown

Every fire recorded in Guernsey County

Museums hold 176 specimens collected within 10 miles of Winterset between 1875 and 1975: 108 Animalia, 62 Plantae, 6 Fungi. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Adams, W. (William), Adams, W. (William), Trautman, M. B. (Milton Bernard) et al., Adams, W.; Adams, S. and others. Each is a physical object with a catalogue number, and each entry opens the museum's record. This is what was collected and kept, not a survey of what lives here - nothing can be concluded from a species being absent.
