    Edinburgh “Ghost Town” And Museum – Scotch Grove, Iowa

On the original site of the first county seat are more than 11 buildings including a log cabin, schoolhouse, church, and blacksmith shop. This “town” was the seat of government for Jones County from 1840-1847. New buildings have been erected to house early documents, photographs, furniture, equipment, and other artifacts of the early history of this region.
