About the Farm House Museum
The Farm House Museum, located at 601 Farm House Lane in Ames, Iowa, is a historical institution that showcases the early history and culture of Iowa State University. Originally built in 1860, the Farm House served as living quarters for deans, professors, farmhands, and students. After a restoration process in the 1970s, the building was transformed into a public museum.
Visitors can explore the museum free of charge, with a suggested donation of $8. The first floor is accessible, although there may be some narrow doorways and uneven flooring transitions due to the historic nature of the building.
The museum is located within the ISU campus, which is bike and pedestrian friendly. Limited vehicle access is available to Osborne Drive and Farm House Lane, so visitors are encouraged to call ahead for instructions on parking.
Experience the history of Iowa State University at the Farm House Museum, a National Historic Landmark that played a significant role in shaping the university's legacy.

Reviews of Farm House Museum
"A small, homely museum on Iowa State's campus detailing the history of the house itself (the oldest building on the Iowa State campus) and with a rotating exhibit. The student guides were very knowledgeable and eager to answer all of our questions and we spent a pleasant 45 minutes perusing the museum. While not a destination in and of itself, the Farm House Museum makes a nice visit, especially for those with a connection to Iowa State."
"Gives alot of history to campus, our tour guide was quite knowledgeable"
"Recommend anyone that has free time between classes to check this place out. It's so cool"
"Given the limited hours of this museum on the Iowa State University campus, I've never quite got a chance to visit this place until recently. Important lesson that I've learned: thank goodness there is limited hours at this museum. This place gave me the creeps while I was moving through the building taking pictures. Definitely come with a friend, or better yet, come with a group. I can't imagine the poor undergrad that has to sit in this museum on a regular basis. Anyways, the museum itself contains a mind boggling 3 stories worth of rooms filled with various artifacts. The rooms/exhibits on the third floor is especially pressuring/claustrophobic given that it's basically the attic of the "farm house," and there is a very little room to move about. I guess if you're into the whole paranormal investigation stuff, this is not a bad place to check out."
"The origin point of Iowa State University once housed the College of Agriculture's Deans, and their families. Since 1976 it has been a free museum, showcasing the stories of ISU through objects from a time period ranging from 1880 to 1920."
