Family History

The Last Homestead is a century barn located north of Winthrop, Iowa. This property has been in our family for over one hundred years and we have decided to open up this space for gathering and celebrations of many kinds.

​

We have found it to be the perfect place for family gatherings, weddings, music, and parties and hope to bring some of the magic we have experienced over the years to others. We are opening this piece of our family history for others to create a unique experience like no other. Last is actually the surname of our family members who settled this farm after immigrating from Germany in the late 19th century and because it is so unique, we felt like it is one of the last places of its kind, hence, The Last Homestead. 

​

The barn is unique in its two story, original timber interior and is located just off the highway down a quiet, gravel road. It is a place filled with sunshine during the day and a place where you can see the stars at night.

​

Our property is perfect for those looking for a special place you cannot find in the city with a history you cannot recreate with modern building. Located within 20 miles of Oelwein, Independence, and Manchester and less than one hour from Dubuque, Cedar Rapids, and Waterloo, The Last Homestead is a convenient destination for any event.  If you are looking for a space to create a unique experience, we would love to meet with you to discuss the multiple possibilities for this property.
