This section of the Kiron Kountry web site is dedicated to all the families who came to this part of Iowa, bought a parcel of land and developed that land into a "FAMILY FARM". They came as early as 1867 which was long before there was anything that could be called a town. They provided the entire basis of the economy for the area in the beginning and they continue to fulfill that role over 130 years later. In this section is their story in word and picture told in a series of individual 'farm chapters'.

So much of the day to day history of farm life involved "barn chores". It is fitting that some attempt be made to refresh memories of what it was like to live on a farm. Several of these old "mansions" are still standing and are presented here. It should stimulate some good discussion about past life experences on the farm. It was a hard life but one worth celebrating. And photos of other farm activities are being added to bring back those memories or to enlighten another generation.
