Travel back in time to an 80-acre working farm exhibit, featuring the machinery, tools and primitives of an authentic late 1880s farmstead. The farmstead grounds include the original Carstens family home complete with all the furnishings.

Come see steam engine threshing, antique machinery, parades, crafts, food and entertainment during Carstens Farm Days, our annual farm show. The two-day event is held annually the first weekend after Labor Day.

The Carstens 1880 Farmstead is owned and operated by Carstens 1880 Farmstead, Inc., a non-profit volunteer organization dedicated to the celebration and preservation of Iowa's farm history. The farmstead is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
