Welcome to the "Haunting at Farrar" haunted Schoolhouse

 The Farrar Schoolhouse is a "known" haunted location here in Iowa visited by dozens of Paranormal Groups and individuals including: Discovery Channels "My Ghost Story" and"Ghost Stalkers", Fox news, Lazor 103.3 Radio, Des Moines Register, author Steven LaChance, Villisca's Johnny Houser, Brad and Barry Klinge, Chris Dedman, John Tenney, Chad Lindberg, David Roundtree, Rosalyn Bown, Dakota Laden, Jodie Parks, Mike Holeman,  Tim Dwight, Jacqui Carpenter, Chad and Brian Calek, Christopher Booth, SlipKnot's Corey Taylor and more. 

In the beginning ...

The  cornerstone inscribed with the year 1921 was set and the dedication  ceremony commenced on April 1, 1922. The schoolhouse filled with citizens  from miles around. An orchestra played on stage in the auditorium as a  banquet served the hundreds in attendance. Not  all citizens were behind  the new building with its $100,000 price tag.  One disgruntled citizen  refused to attend the celebration calling it a  “monument to the  arrogance and vanity of the school board,” with its  boiler heating,  electric lights, and indoor bathroom facilities. On May 3, 2002, once  again, the band played, a banquet served the hundreds in attendance and  sadly, the 80-year-old schoolhouse closed its doors for the last time.
