2024 Spring Barn Tour

Our June 22-23 tour will feature eleven total barns in Black Hawk and Tama counties, with diverse construction dates and styles. Several of the barns are still in active use – visitors may encounter bison, Suffolk sheep, Babydoll sheep, American Cream draft horses, paint horses, chickens, ponies, and cats during their visit. Property owners will be present at most barns to provide history and answer questions. The tour is free and open to the public, made possible by the generosity of Iowa Barn Foundation member donors.
