Description
Much
of the
livelihood
of
Mahaska
County
, and for that
matter
,
Iowa
, has
depended
on
farming
, and the
success
each
year
brings
.
Many
came
to
Iowa
to
make
a
fresh
start
and
begin
farming
on
soil
that
hadn't
been
used
over
and
over
again
. This
held
true
for
Daniel
and
Margaret
Nelson
,
whose
home
is
depicted
here.
Prior
to this
beautiful
brick
home
being
built
,
Daniel
and
Margaret
Nelson
,
along
with their
four
children
,
lived
in a
log
cabin
,
built
by
Daniel
Nelson
. As
Nelson
began
enjoying
success
in
farming
in
Mahaska
County
, he
built
the
home
pictured
here,
which
was
revered
by
many
at the
time
as
one
of the
finest
homes
in
all
of
Mahaska
County
.
Today
,
one
can
visit
the
Nelson
home
and
see
it
as
lived
in
during
pioneer
days
.
Situated
in
Oskaloosa
, the
Nelson
Pioneer
Farm
offers
visitors
a
chance
to
see
what
life
on a
farm
during
pioneer
days
meant
to those
who
had
endured
it
for
several
generations
.
