1850. Pioneer Farm. Look around the farm. The split rail fence, wheat field, rooting pigs, and log house represent a four-year-old farm, established when Iowa became a state in 1846.

Approximately 350,000 people from around the country, the largest crowd in Iowa history, flocked to the Farms on a cold and rainy autumn day.

1900 HORSE-POWERED FARM Farms would not have been as successful without the aid of the horses. Technology had reached Iowa farms in 1900, by way of the hand-crank telephone, Acorn cook stove, and updated farm equipment, such the horse-drawn plow, planter, hay press, and more. Corn, oats, and hay were the most common crops on turn-of-the century Iowa farms. 1700 IOWAY INDIAN FARM 1700. Ioway Indian Farm. Look around the farm. The farming techniques practiced by the Ioway Indians in 1700 pre-dated written history and varied somewhat from European methods. Ioway farmers raised corn, beans, and squash. Women did the farming in the Ioway culture while men were responsible for hunting and making tools.
