preserving iowa's agri-history
The original wooden grain elevators reflect dangerous conditions, ingenuity, and the beginning of modern agriculture; but many of the historic buildings are disappearing from our landscape and taking history with it.
In 2014, the journey to save this 1881 agricultural icon began. Thanks to contributions from the Iowa Barn Foundation, friends, family, community members, and like-minded preservationists across the United States, the Ross Grain Elevator is saved!
