About Living History Farms

This 500-acre open-air museum covers 300 years of Midwestern farming through working sites. You visit a 1700 Ioway farm growing corn, beans and squash, an 1850 pioneer farm, and a 1900 farm where Percheron draft horses power the machinery. The 1876 Town of Walnut Hill has shops, homes, a schoolhouse and a Victorian residence. Interpreters in period clothing do the daily work and talk with you about it, and a tractor cart carries you out to the farms.
