Abstract: "The Adams County Rural Reconnaissance Survey focused on the rural churches, cemeteries, and schools throughout the county. It also included the inventory of selected architectural and archaeological sites identified during the survey, with a minimum of one architectural and one archeological site recorded within each of the 12 townships. A total of 18 architectural properties and 13 archaeological sites were newly recorded as part of the current study, with an additional 25 architectural and eight archaeological sites that had been previously assigned inventory and site numbers but for which forms had either not been completed or needed updated information. This makes for a total for 43 architectural inventory forms and 21 archaeological site record forms completed for this survey. Recommendations for potential NRHP eligibility of each property was made, with some requiring additional research and/or intensive survey before a final recommendation of eligibility can be made. Prioritized recommendations were also made for future surveys and research projects by the Adams County HPC." Project funding was provided in part by a Historic Preservation Fund grant to the State Historical Society of Iowa, Department of Cultural Affairs, administered by the State, Tribal, Local Plans and Grants division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior (grant number P20AF00020).
