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 three 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.
In all, there are five corn planters in the collection, all of pretty much the same vintage and the same design. Each one is a two row planter, horse drawn and mostly complete, though only one has the canister lids. This one has even lost one of its canisters. As for its make, that's anyone's guess. Also, this is one of only about four implements here that still has a bit of paint clinging to the rust.
