Stopping by The Ramsey Farm at Lesanville

As Linda and I were cruising across the southern tier of counties on route 2, we passed by an unusual farmstead. I slowed down and, when I caught sight of the sign, recognized that we'd stumbled on another of the Registers 100 Places in Iowa, The Ramsey Farm at Lesanville.
The Ramsey Farm at Lesanville is an historic working farm and village depicting the life and culture of rural America between the late 1800s and the early 1950s.
Operating more as a bed and breakfast, we only browsed around from the road but it looks like a nice retreat and opportunity to get a feel for farming in another time. There are several more buildings and a little train depot that could easily provide interesting activities and sights during a stay.
