This outdoor museum is great for grandpas and kids together. These old steam and gas powered machines kept the interest of both parties. There’s so much room to run, play, and explore. Not to mention the mini trains, hand weavers, and clock and watch exhibits. Check their schedule online to find events and demonstrations or visit on a non-event day to self tour for $5 per person.

Believe it or not this is a great place to tour. Twice a year they have tractor races and exhibits of lots of old tractors and machines from yesteryear. We love it.
