Visiting The Living History Farm, Urbandale, IA

Had a great time with Savannah and Grandpa at the Living history Farm. Animals, jumping from the hay loft, visiting historical manson, Old town buildings and homes. Travel in time from 1700's to the 1900 on an Iowa farm.

Living History Farms in Urbandale, Iowa, tells the amazing story of how Iowans transformed the fertile prairies of the Midwest into the most productive farmland in the world. While at the 500-acre open-air museum, visitors travel at their own pace through historical time periods spanning 300 years. On-site interpreters provide a unique learning environment of seasonal activities and demonstrations.
