What is a Poor Farm?
Starting in the 1800’s, poor houses and farms were opened around the nation in rural and urban areas alike to care for the desitute, feeble minded, orphans, and unwed mothers. In the early days of Kansas statehood, individual counties were typically responsible for caring for the poor. When populations were small, the poor were often housed by local families who were reimbursed by the county.
