Tours

We are an all-volunteer board and do not keep scheduled hours, but the farms are always open to visitors.  You are welcome to come to the farms when it works for you and learn from the many exterior signs on the property outside the buildings and along the prairie trail that connects the two farms. A guided tour can be arranged through the Cresco Chamber of Commerce by calling 563-547-3434 or Contact Us.

You can also take a Virtual Tour of the various properties and buildings below.
