Legacy of the Plains Museum Outdoor Exhibits

Currently we have three buildings outdoors available to view. Our Blacksmith Shop and our Annex are self-guided, as is our collection of antique farm machinery and equipment. Tours of the historic Wiedeman House are available upon request at the front desk.

Check back often – watch us grow!

At our working blacksmith shop, you can see
how agricultural tools were made by hand
in the 19th century.
Coming soon: The Thomas family lived in this sod house
in the 1890s, and then moved it sod-block-by-sod-block
to another site around 1915, resulting in an unusual feature
for a soddy: mud mortar.
Visitors can tour the Wiedeman House to see what life inside the farmstead home looked like in the 1950's and the 1930's.
