Our Village includes a genuine pioneer one-room Schoolhouse and a small Church relocated from their original hometowns. And two Sawmills, a vintage Gas Station, a John Deere store and Blacksmith shop, and many other interesting buildings.
Oh and don’t forget all the old fashioned cooking! Start your day with the Threshermen’s Breakfast right on the Show Grounds! Plus the Lunch at the Feed Bin and Food Booths in the Park.
Our 40th anniversary was in 2014 and to celebrate it we created our book. It tells our members’ stories that not only celebrate our anniversary, but also the history of life in our region. Click the button above to read more about the book or to order a copy.
