Log Home/ Learning Center Project 
In 2005, the Missouri Farm Bureau Foundation for Agriculture began an exciting new project with the purchase
of a mid-1800’s dog-trot style log home which was slated for removal.  The home has been reconstructed
on MFB headquarter grounds in Jefferson City and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.


[Free tours are now available for small grade school classes and youth groups.]
