The museum was not open when we visited, and there was a For Sale sign out front. The World's Largest Plow was covered in weeds. We climbed the fence, along with another couple, to look at the barbed wire animals and peek inside the sod house.

The plow was great. Just what you want in a massive plow. The best thing about the place was the great coffee/gift shop with homemade muffins, cake, jams and honey.
[Sian De Freyssinet, 03/14/2017]Doesn't open until 9 am, and cost is free. The lady is really friendly and informative.
[Jeaneane Renz, 07/25/2016]Sod house, world's largest plow, bison made of barb wire. The shell station has changed to a Cen-ex station in front of the sod house. Also there is a life size Indian riding a horse made from barb wire staged to look as if pursuing the buffalo. Very good, great lady explaining history of area and sod house!
