Someone had managed to gather together about 60 farm implements and wagons and has decided to put them on display. The vast majority of the farm implements are very old horse drawn machines. The collection includes plows, cultivators, harrows, discs, mowers, corn planters, farm wagons, potato diggers and planters, a hay loader, a manure spreader and two road graders. The display is immediately north of the highway and appears to be accessible 24/7/365, at no charge.
This is an upgrade to the well known Fresno developed in the 19th century to move earth while building roads and such. Farmers would have used them, as well, for making their lanes, digging irrigation ditches, even levelling fields and digging basements. Still horse drawn, the wheeled version would have made the pulling of a loaded earth mover much easier.
