Edinburgh Manor
Located in Jones County, Iowa. Edinburgh Manor is one of the most haunted locations in Iowa and the Midwest.
From their website (click the button below to visit their site) Described as a ‘comfortable retreat for the lazy, able-bodied and willingly dependent applicants,’ the Poor Farm housed the poor, incurably insane and disabled. Tenants were given shelter and food for their labor. They would farm agriculture and livestock. The poor farm was in operation from 1850-1910 and in that time there were over 80+ documented deaths on the property. In 1910, the poor farm closed down and was demolished. Edinburgh Manor was then constructed from 1910-1911 to house the incurably insane, the poor and the elderly. Edinburgh Manor, also referred to as The Manor, was in operation until November 2010.
