They Are Iowa’s Rural Cathedrals’ - The 1850 Homestead Barn

This is a totally surprise conversation. Recently a friend of ours, Davi Mondt Lowman made me aware of a project that had been going on in the tiny town of Cambridge, Iowa.  That project has become the 1850 Homestead and barn which recently opened its doors to the public. I took my radio gear to an open house and, as luck would have it, I was able to sit down with Margret Freeland Nelson (family of the homesteaders), Kay Thompson who now owns the barn and her daughter Michelle Reisberg who, with her husband Bill, now manage the facility that is open for a host of public and private events.  We think you'll enjoy this story.

Thanks for listening!
