Faeth Farmstead and Orchard District
Faeth Farmstead and Orchard District, Historic orchard district in Fort Madison, Iowa, US.
The Faeth Farmstead spans across multiple acres containing 15 contributing buildings, three contributing sites, three contributing structures, and six non-contributing buildings.
German immigrants Jacob and Elizabeth Faeth established this farm in 1842, with Mormons temporarily settling nearby after departing from Nauvoo, Illinois.
The property encompasses three distinct orchards, including the East Orchard founded before 1874, representing generations of agricultural development in Iowa.
The farmstead includes specialized structures like an apple packing shed from 1942 and a cold storage facility constructed in 1950 for fruit preservation.
This agricultural complex maintains what is considered the oldest operating orchard located west of the Mississippi River.
