Farm House Museum

The Farm House, also known as the Knapp–Wilson House, is the oldest building on the campus of Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa. Now a museum open to the general public, this house was originally built in 1860 as part of the model farm aspect of Iowa Agricultural College and Model Farm. It was des

ignated a National Historic Landmark in 1965 for its association with agriculturist Seaman A. Knapp and U.S. Secretary of Agriculture James Wilson, both of whom lived here while teaching at Iowa State.
