You may request a guided tour of the farm’s historic buildings and surrounding areas with the Johnson County Historical Society. Check out our Tours page to learn how.
Natural Areas
For those who want to venture beyond the paved Healing Trail, our natural areas are rimming with life. Our partners at Eocene have worked to restore a diverse array of native plantings onsite in alignment with our 7-year Natural Areas Plan.

Historic Buildings
​​The Historic Building Complex can be found on the north side of the farm and contains the following historic structures: the Livestock Barn, the Dairy Barn, the Historic Asylum, and the Granary. It is visually delineated by the Healing Trail paved path which encircles the Historic Building Complex.
Cemetery
The Historic Poor Farm has a cemetery onsite in which a number of individuals are laid to rest. Community members may visit the cemetery, which is demarcated by a wooden cross on the westernmost border. Visitors must treat the cemetery area with the utmost respect at all times.​
