Long Description:"http://www.livinghistoryfarm.org/aboutthefarm.html">Wessels
Living History Farm a mile south of Interstate 80 exit 353 on
Highway 81 assembled a 1920s farmstead to show what 1920s farm life
was like in central Nebraska. All the major buildings are authentic
structures moved from other locations. This one-car garage from the
1920s was donated to the Wessels Living History Farm by the
"http://www.yorklib.org/foundation">Kilgore Memorial Library
Foundation.
It sat just across the parking lot from the library's front
entrance, on a residential lot the Foundation had purchased with an
eye toward future expansion of the library. The house and garage
were rented for several years until the original purchase price had
been recovered. Wessels Farm accepted the garage as a donation; the
house was later sold and moved to a vacant lot elsewhere in
York.

waymarks are developed.
