As you enter Heartland Museum's
Agricultural Hall through the turn-of-the-century Prairie Farm Supply
store, you are greeted with over 16,000 square feet of original and
restored farm tractors and construction machinery, horse drawn wagons,
carriages, sleighs and implements on two levels.
The balcony houses over 2,000
collectable toy models of all kinds in showcases for the toy enthusiast.
Below the balcony are large rooms housing individual historical displays
from several Wright County towns, the North Central Antique Tractor Club
of Iowa, an ice harvesting display and farm shop.
All four walls in the Ag Hall are
a showcase in themselves, displaying rare and unusual farm implement
signs and clocks with one working neon sign as large as the tractor it
advertises.
There is a children's area for
supervised climbing and playing on two large farm tractor replicas.
The majority of displays have an educational component for the readers
and researchers to pore over.
Please allow at least one hour to
see it all.
