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 Highway 37 and 1.2 miles west of Highway 93 which runs through Eureka and north to the Canadian border. The site appears to be accessible 24/7/365, at no charge.
We didn't find a name plate on this plow, but there's a good chance it's a John Deere, as they had a good portion of the market in the early years. A two bottom plow, this one would likely have required at least four good horses when plowing hard or clayey soil. It would have been a welcome implement for a farmer who had spent any time trudging along behind a single bottom walk-behind plow. For the first time he could sit and gaze at the scenery while doing his plowing.
