Olmsted Family Farmhouse

The Olmsted Family Farmhouse, also known as the Olmsted-Urban House, is an historic building located in Urbandale, Iowa, United States.

Leander and Charlotte Olmsted from Auburn, New York acquired 80 acres (32 ha) of land in Polk County, Iowa in 1867.

[2] They built a house on the property where they raised their sons Millard and Clarence, and bought additional land for their farm.

In 1904, about the time Millard married his wife Olive, Leander had this two-story, frame, American foursquare house built.

Millard and Olive helped Leander farm and they raised their six children here.
