Reviews
The museum, located at the fairgrounds, next to the racetrack, is an amazing local museum of history. They have a great variety of artifacts, and the displays are well-done and appealing. The first building has a HUGE variety of artifacts, including some agricultural items, from the largest scale I've ever seen to a two-headed calf (I've seen a million) and a two-butted sheep (now there's something you don't see every day). The 2nd floor is reportedly equally interesting; I was unable to tour that due to time constraints. A second building is focused on agricultural innovations and ag history in the local area - also VERY well-done. Early planters, primitive hand-tools and horse-drawn planting and harvesting equipment and the most impressive display for barbed wire I've ever seen. Apparently the other building - several miles from the fairgrounds; the historic home of the Clinton engine company - is also well-worth seeing. I plan to return soon. If you are any kind of history buff you should make a point to visit; if you are interested in agricultural history, this is a good one.
It was so awsome. That i am going there again tomorrow
A lot to see for a small town museum, will be taking the kids back, and highly recommend going during a Halloween fall trip, some weird freaky stuff too! 2 floors of fun.
A great collection of antiques and very unusual items!
Very interesting
