Edinburgh Manor is a small facility located in Jones County, Iowa and was used for the treatment and care of disabled elderly patients. Prior to its establishment in 1911, a poor farm resided on the property from 1850 to 1910. In that short period of time over 150 people would lose their lives for a multitude of reasons. Things didn't get much better when Edinburgh was built and from 1910 to 2010, it would go from a disabled elderly care facility, to an orphanage, and finally a group home before closing its doors in November 2010. Another 80+ people would lose their lives in the time it became Edinburgh Manor.
