So what is going to happen to the museum?

Girard Auction of South Dakota is going to be selling off the whole collection. Jerry is planning on keeping couple tractors for parades & shows. Auctions are to start this fall, not sure how many they have planned.

It's too bad someone can't step in and buy it all, to keep it open.

Sadly, I think I'll see the day where keeping shows like Red Power and Classic Green viable will mean sharing the spotlight with another make.

This is the last year. Opening for the season April 4 but having a grand opening on April 11th and 12th. It coincides with a JD museum in Portsmouth, Iowa opening for the season.

(quoted from post at 14:06:33 03/09/20) It's too bad someone can't step in and buy it all, to keep it open.

I'm sure they'd sell it to a single buyer in a heartbeat, but who has the millions and millions of dollars necessary to buy the place and its inventory, and the passion to run it?

Most people with millions are looking to make their money grow, and this is not a money-making venture. It's a labor of love.

Heard about that from someone in town, sad to hear. It would be nice if someone took it over.
