History

The grounds and now demolished Administration Building were largely patterned on the Kirkbride Plan, as state funding permitted. The institution has long dominated Glenwood both economically and culturally although the IIFMC was self-sufficient and the residents were intentionally isolated from the rest of the town. After World War II Glenwood also became a meat-packing center and during the early 1950s was home to one of America's largest Kosher packinghouses with most of its product shipped to New York and the East Coast. In 1876 the State Veteran's Orphan's Home at Glenwood became the Iowa Psychiatric hospital for Feeble-Minded Children, the 7th such facility in the country and the first located west of the Mississippi River. National attention came to Buckner and the Glenwood State-Hospital School in the December 9, 1957 issue of Time Magazine and the March 25, 1958 issue of Life Magazine.
