About Carpenter

Set in the farmland of Mitchell County in northeast Iowa, Carpenter is a quiet, close-knit community. The old high school gym now serves as the local community center, hosting everything from summer softball leagues under the lights to weekend auctions and private parties. Students attend classes in the neighboring St. Ansgar district, and just outside town sits Fort Severson, a historic 1867 stone barn dating back to the area's early settlement days.
