The Farm House Museum boasts a large collection consisting of 19th and early 20th century decorative arts, furnishings and material culture reflecting Iowa State and Iowa heritage. Objects include furnishings from Carrie Chapman Catt and Charles Curtiss, a wide variety of quilts, a modest collection of textiles and apparel, and various china and glassware items. Entering the Farm House Museum and viewing these works of art is like stepping back in time to experience life during the early years of Iowa State College.
