Reeve Electric Association Plant
Reeve Electric Association Plant, Power plant museum in Hampton, Iowa.
The Reeve Electric Association Plant features original diesel generators and exhibits that demonstrate the progression of electrical power distribution in rural America.
Established in 1937, this facility became the first farmer-owned power plant in the United States to receive a Rural Electrification Administration grant.
The museum exhibits document how the introduction of electricity transformed daily life for farming families, bringing modern appliances to rural households.
The Franklin County Historical Society maintains the museum, offering educational programs about the technological evolution of power generation in the Midwest.
Four original diesel-powered generators remain in the building, demonstrating the exact equipment that supplied electricity to six Iowa counties starting in 1938.
