The Odebolt Museum announces the 15th annual Christmas ornament featuring the old Cook Ranch house. It is available for purchase during regular business hours at Iowa State Bank in Odebolt.
Charles Willard Cook of Chicago, Ill., purchased 7,680 acres of land for $5 an acre in 1873. He divided the farm into half-section farms for his tenants and hired help and built a complete set of buildings on each half-section. Cook erected his own residence on the southeast corner of section 33, Cook Township. The home was destroyed by fire in the early 1890s and replaced by a smaller house.
Cost is $15.00
