Kyle Munson has written about the Hayward Round Barn near Dysart and the woman who restored it after years away from Iowa. The barn’s owner wrote more about it and its restoration last year, and that page has quite a few pictures.
The barn is open today as part of the Iowa Barn Foundation’s All-State Barn Tour. It’s featured at the top of the barn tour webpage.
(Correction to the column: The Geneseo school building has not been demolished. It’s still there.)
