The Iowa Barn Foundation holds two Barn Tours each year, the All-State Barn Tour (September) and the Spring Barn Tour (June). While our self-guided tours are free and open to the public, they are made possible by our generous member donors. Please consider becoming a member donor today to help save Iowa’s historic barns, and you will receive our spring and fall magazines in your mailbox which include barn articles and detailed tour guides.
Upcoming Tours:
June 21-22, 2025 – Our self-guided spring barn tour will be held in Cedar County in East-Central Iowa. There are several unique barns each with their own personality. Enjoy your drive thru the picturesque county. Barns are open for touring from 9-5 both days. Our barn owners are excited to meet you! A Saturday lunch will be available for advance purchase at the Historical Society Museum and Prairie Village site in Tipton. Click here for an interactive tour map.
