Events to learn about land transfer

WINTERSET – Who gets the farm? What will they do with it? Have you thought that far ahead?

The one-woman play, “Map of My Kingdom,” will be on stage 7 p.m. Friday, Jan. 26, at The Iowa Theater in Winterset. Commissioned by Practical Farmers of Iowa and written by Iowa’s poet laureate, the play is designed to spark thinking and conversation about land transfer.

A brief Q&A follows the performance. Admission is $10.

For pre-registered participants only, the “Farm Legacy Letter Workshop” will be from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 27, at Madison County Historical Complex in Winterset. Participants will leave with a solid draft letter stating their memories from and hopes for the future of their land. Reserve a seat by contacting the Winterset Library at 515-462-1731 or library@winterset.lib.ia.us. This event is free.

Friday’s performance and Saturday’s “Farm Legacy Letter Workshop” are brought to the county by many community organizations and sponsors.
