The Conservation Center at Grimes Farm
Overview
The Grimes Farm Conservation Area is located just west of the city limits of Marshalltown. It lies on the west side of Highland Acres Road and on the north side of 233rd Street. The Linn Creek Recreational Trail from Marshalltown to the Grimes Farm and Conservation Area was completed in 2005. This is now another way to access the Grimes Farm and Conservation Center, by bicycle or on foot. In the Spring of 2012, the Linn Creek Trail was connected with the Hwy. 330 Trail and the Heart of Iowa Trail at Rhodes. These trail segments are part of the American Discovery Trail.
The Nature Center at the Grimes Farm Conservation Area is owned and operated by the Marshall County Conservation Board (MCCB) for the following purpose: “To provide an inviting place, with educational programming, that encourages visitors to make a personal connection with nature and offers opportunities to discover, experience, and enjoy nature’s message of harmony.”.
