The Manske–Niemann Farm is a historic 462-acre (187 ha) farm complex located at 13 Franks Lane near Litchfield, Illinois. The farm was most likely established in the 1850s and was purchased by German immigrant Michael Manske in 1863. Manske and his family developed and expanded the farm in three main stages. The first stage, completed in the 1860s and 1870s, included the original I-house, horse barn, and smokehouse. In the 1890s, the family added a granary, corncrib, cow barn, and other buildings to the farm, representing shifts in the farm's crops and livestock. An expansion in the first two decades of the 20th century included a third barn, numerous animal sheds and feed buildings, and structures needed for the mechanization of the farm, such as a gas pump and car shed. The farm remains in the Manske–Niemann family and was owned by Michael Manske's great-great-granddaughter Ophelia Niemann as of 2002; it is a well-preserved example of a German immigrant farmstead.

The John and Marie (Palen) Schrup Farmstead Historic District is a nationally recognized historic district in Dubuque County, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009. At the time of its nomination it consisted of four resources, which included three contributing buildings and one non-contributing building. The three buildings include a stone house, barn, and well-house. The buildings are typical of those constructed by immigrant families from Luxembourg that settled in Dubuque and nearby Jackson counties. The front part of the house is the oldest structure here and was built when Martin Burkhart owned the property. He sold the farmstead to Casper Burkhart the following year, who then sold it to John and Marie Schrup in 1856. The Schrups were responsible for adding onto the back of the house about the time they bought it and the other two buildings. The dairy farm of 193 acres (78 ha) remained in the family until 1973. Because it was always a modest enterprise, the stone buildings were not torn down and replaced with modern structures as happened on many of the Luxembourgian farms built in the mid-19th century. A wooden shed was built in the early 20th century, and is the non-contributing building. A pole barn was also added to the farmstead and it fell down c. 1995.
