REA Power Plant Museum—rural Hampton: Located 4 miles south of the Franklin County Fairgrounds in Hampton and 1 1/2 miles west on gravel roads, the Corn Belt Power REA plant was the first farmer owned power plant in the nation to receive an REA grant and only the second in the nation to go “on line” in the 1930’s. The plant was given to the Franklin County Historical Society and has been turned into a rural and electrical museum. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. For more information, or a tour, call Marvin Rodemeyer.

That’s right—Franklin County now has a visitors guide. Thanks to Hampton Area Chamber of Commerce and Hampton Publishing you can now find a comprehensive listing of things to do in Franklin County. Also included is the Chamber business directory (buy local shop Chamber), government listings, historical sites and advertisements. You’ll find them around Iowa at rest stops, in the places where this newspaper is delivered and at the Hampton Chronicle office.
Whoever wishes to foresee the future must consult the past; for human events ever resemble those of preceding times.

This arises from the fact that they are produced by men who ever have been, and ever shall be, animated by the same passions, and thus they necessarily have the same results. Machiavelli
