National Farm Toy Museum

Learn all about toy tractors from yesterday and today at the National Farm Toy Museum, where the whole family can take a small-scale adventure into the history of agriculture. Journey through the museum and discover how farming has changed throughout the years, and the role tractors play in making successful harvests happen. Browse a huge collection of farm implements, trucks, pedal tractors, and a life-size John Deere soil-sifter! Original artwork, dioramas, and other unique exhibits artfully express tales of American agriculture. At the same time, miniature farm replicas convey to visitors the relative growth of American farming and the increased size of farms themselves.
