The first time I visited this farm was when I was in college. A friend wanted to check out the farm simply because she was going to go see the Pope when he was coming to visit and she wanted some idea of what the farms were like.
While she checked out the area I checked out what it had to offer! I found and old time print shop which reeked with the smell of printers ink, a general store, barns, homesteads and history galore!
There is so much to do in the immediate area that it is virtually impossible to list all and a shame to do so...it is better experienced than read about! It is not uncommon for groups of schoolchildren to be here on any given day on field trips....all which seem to have their fair share of adults present who are enjoying the area as much as if not more than the children!
So if ou are looking for a slice of the Midwest from years gone by....head on out to LIVING HISTORY FARMS and transport yourself to the age of horse and buggy and one room schools....I promise you will leave appreciating the rich history of Iowa anew!
