Sod House Museum - World's Largest Plow
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!

The sod house is a replica. Unlike that used in others, the timber supporting the roof is not 3/4" stuff from Home Depot. It is full 1" dimensional lumber, indicating that some care was devoted to procuring authentic construction materials. The floor is authentic dirt, too.
[Chuck Rhode, 07/24/2007]The World's Largest Plow sits in front of the Sod House Museum. In the background you can see the billboard honoring former Dallas Cowboy Jay Novacek.
