Farmers Institute is a historic school building located on a small campus in Shadeland, Tippecanoe County, Indiana. It was originally built in 1851, and expanded to its present two stories in 1864-1865. It is a two-story, rectangular, frame building with modest Greek Revival style design elements. It housed a school from its construction until 1874, and again from 1882 to 1889, during which it also housed a public library. Since then, it has exclusively housed the Farmers Institute Friends Church, a Quaker meetinghouse.[2]:2-3
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.[1]
