Great place to learn about the first tractor, invented here in Iowa. This museum is much larger and interesting than it appears from the road. On the self-paced tour you could spend ten minutes or a few hours learning about changes in farming and transportation over the years.
Awesome little museum commemorating the town where the first gasoline tractor was invented, but blink and you'll miss it. We arrived in the middle of a torrential rainstorm and the docent was so accommodating and welcoming. Don't expect fancy interactive exhibits, this is a legitimate no-frills local history museum that's a great snapshot of small town America.
A very nice surprise. Not a lot for the kids but a lot of history. I would say it is a place to spend a couple of hours looking at everything. Enjoyed the history of the first gas powered tractor.
Really neat place. Alot of history here. Make an hour to stop and support this hidden gem.
Didn't actually get to the museum, but stopped for the historical marker and learned about my favorite tractor's origins.
