The key thing to do in Des Moines. Living History Farms is an interactive journey into the past that highlights life in the Heartland. Tour farmlife through different time periods.

Hours are posted on the website under the Hours and Admission tabs and do include information about last admission times. If visiting in Sept or May, weekends mean no school tours, which run Wed-Fri.
