Retrace and retread tractor history at this Dyersville, Iowa museum. With thousands of toys and exhibits scattered throughout its two-floored exhibition space, the National Farm Toy Museum pays tribute to historic and contemporary crop contraptions. Fun-loving farm enthusiasts may peruse the museum's frenzy of farm implements, including trucks, pedal tractors, and a life-size John Deere soil-sifter illustrating scale. Original artwork, dioramas, and Doug Schlesier sculptures artfully express anecdotes of American agriculture, while miniature farm replicas convey to visitors the relative growth of American farming, and the increased size of farms themselves. The National Farm Toy Museum is open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily.
