Living History Farms
  One of several fast- growing suburbs of Des Moines, Urbandale's attraction for tourists is this 600 acre, open-air agricultural museum. While Iowa is more than farming, agriculture is Iowa's number one economic strength. Here, in full size and miniature exhibits, the history of farming in the region is presented. The exhibits' timeline start with a ca 1700 Ioway Indian village and progressing through a mid-19th Century pioneer farm, a ca 1900s farm (prior to the gasoline-powered equipment), topped of with live demonstrations of modern harvesting equipment and methods.
  Demonstrations are keyed to the season; this is also a producing farm. Most of the demonstrations are scheduled for weekends and the schedule, of course, is dependent upon crop progress and weather. For more information, visit their web site at ihf.org, - or phone 1-515-278-5286.
