...The primary mission of the Iowa Barn Foundation is to educate the public about Iowa’s vanishing barns and to provide barn restoration matching grants to help property owners restore their barns. In addition, property owners who use their own funds to restore or rehabilitate barns that would otherwise qualify for a matching grant are eligible to receive an Iowa Barn Foundation Award of Distinction. Take a look at some of the restored barns that have been featured on the 2001 and 2002 All-State Barn Tour.

Pocahontas County, Iowa A Brief History http://www.uiowa.edu/~osa/regions/nwest/pocahont.htm [ Edit ] Site Reviews(0)
...Soon after the county's formal organization in March, 1859, there was a petition for the location of a county seat. Three commissioners were appointed, but only two of them visited the newly-formed county. Those two commissioners selected 200 acres near the West Fork of the Des Moines River. The original name of the town was Highland, or Highland City. Over the years it underwent several name changes; from Highland to Milton to (Old) Rolfe and finally to Parvin.
The first courthouse was built in Rolfe, as it was then called. Swamp land funds paid for a two-story, 36-foot x 50-foot Classic Revival courthouse. It was constructed of bricks that were fired on the site and timber from nearby woods. Lumber was sawed at the sawmill in Rolfe. The second floor of the courthouse was used as a school; at this time the entire county was organized into one school district.

...My Name is JD Ricklefs, I currently live in Cedar Falls, and have teamed up with a friend I graduated from pocahontas with in 1998, "Brad Sefcik", to form a web design, development and hosting company.
