Seminole Valley Farm Museum

Cedar Rapids, Iowa

        Official Web Site        

Seminole Valley Farm Museum is a 1900 farm site listed on the National Register of Historic Places. We are a non-profit organization ran completely by volunteers. Normal open hours are Sunday, 1 to 4, May through September (except Holidays). The Museum is a restored farm site to show what early farm life was like in Iowa.

Due to the June flood of 2008, the museum is currently closed to the public for repairs. However, we will continue to host our 3 annual outdoor events while we rebuild. Please visit us at these events and help support the museum in its efforts to re-open soon.

 Reflections of the Civil War
What a hot weekend we had. It was a great turn out and as always the battle was great. The battle was from Monroe Station in Monroe County, MO. 150 years ago to the day. Our thanks to all who showed up and suffered through the heat the whole weekend. And we got to put away dry canvas. The weekend started Friday morning for some of us when KGAN came out and put us on the morning news. Alice Barr was the reporter and we had a great, fun time. We can never thank KGAN enough for all they have done for us. Bob Welsh and his music was top notch as always and "President Lincoln" (Tom Swenson) was wonderful. The Ladies were wonderful in the Living History part of our event. They are a real plus to the event. Our food vendor (Country Cooking) did a wonderful job keeping everyone fed and cold drinks to help fight the heat. Thanks to Americore who not only helped set up the event but came out in the heat and helped us tear down. We gained several new volunteers and we thank them for all the help. We will get pictures posted as soon as we have time to sort them out. Thank You again to everyone who helped make this a fantastic event.
