Our Mission

The Froelich Foundation, a nonprofit organization established in 1986, has set a goal of preserving farm tractor history at Froelich, Iowa, village. It was once a thriving community that boasted of a railroad depot, sawmill, blacksmith shop, a creamery, a post office (still in the general store), stockyards, ice house, barber shop, shipping warehouse and 1866 Froelich One Room School.
