The Todd House
Tabor, Iowa


Reverend John and Martha Todd built this house in 1853. It was the third structure built in the village of Tabor, Iowa. There weren’t a lot of trees in the area, so they used dried mud for the foundation and later replaced it with stone. The Todd family, along with other founders of Tabor, believed their Christian faith demanded they fight the injustices of slavery. Establishing their town in the southwest corner of Iowa positioned them perfectly to help freedom seekers out of Missouri. The entire community of Tabor worked together to support freedom seekers.
