Brown County Poor Farm
1260 220. From Oregon, ¼ mile south on U.S. 36, 1¼ miles south on Kestrel, then ½ mile west on 220. John Davis, who died in 1947, lived the last year of his life here, although it was a nursing home and not a poor farm at the time. The three-story, red-brick building was built by the WPA as the new “poor farm” residence building in 1936.
