International Center for Rural Culture and Art
Allerton, Iowa
| This 93-acre site, located one mile east of Allerton, Iowa is home
to one of Iowa's few remaining round barns. The fully restored 50-foot
diameter barn, originally built in 1912, features a spectacular loft, free
of any support columns due to its web-like construction. Restoraton
of the 1869 country schoolhouse is complete and restoration is underway
on the 1887 New York Christian Church. These landmarks help to demonstrate
how our ancestors lived, worked and worshipped during a time when
nails were square and roads were dirt.
