Jefferson, IA
RVP~1875 is a furniture shop and museum located at 115 S. Wilson in the historic Milligan Lumber, Grain & Coal building in Jefferson, Iowa. The owner, Robby Pedersen, a Master Furniture Maker, constructs pieces that match 19th‑century techniques and finishes, using only tools that were available in 1875. The showroom displays a substantial collection of period woodworking tools, including a foot‑powered lathe from the 1860s, a hand‑cranked ripsaw from the 1870s, and more than 400 hand planes, as well as over 100 pieces of pioneer furniture. Visitors can join a scheduled one‑hour tour or drop in for a walk‑through.
