Minden NE has the history of the pioneer museum. You'll have a hard time seeing it all in one day. The Stuhr museum is not too far from that in Kearney I think.

Thanks. I wasn't sure which town it was at, could have sworn it was Kearney. Not even 7:30 and I'm wrong already

The Gilmore car museum in hickory corners , mi. The cars and barns are worth the stop alone. They have a tractor show there at some point in the summer. Not sure of the date, but if you're going to be around there I'd look it up.

If you get as far west as California, check out the Heidrick Ag History museum in Woodland, just north of Sacramento. Lots of Holt and Best crawlers.

Barnacopia - Polo, IL. New barn construction using post and beam. Huge place with antique cars and restored JD tractors and implements. One 8N sunk in the floor as you walk in with glass over it (and you can walk on the glass!). Has a big cupola with a rotating JD 70 in it. Very cool place!

Wow ! thanks guys for all that good info. I need to plan a circular road trip and take in all those museums . Maybe I will leave the bride at home L.O.L.

Royse · Apr 1, 2014

I'm surprised no one mentioned JD headquarters and pavillion in
East Moline, IL. All the factory tours are free too, including the
tractor plant in Waterloo, IA. They do have to be scheduled in
advance though. Nice time if you've never been.
Lots of other attractions in the area too, like Rock Island Arsenal.
John Deere

I can also second some of the other great places mentioned.
Auburn, IN - go to one museum and they give you passport to
get discounts at the others. ACD Museum
Dale's AC Museum Dale Haymaker
The tractor show starts June 27th at The Gilmore Museum

Been to pioneer village myself. Yes, very hard to see everything in one day. Especially if you take your time and read about the items. Might be a 2 dayer if you like to do that. I might add that tractors is just a part of this museum. Your going to see about anything imaginable at this place. Anything from barb wire, to kithcen stoves, to tractors, to vehicles, steam engine, this is quit a place. And its been years since I have been there. I am sure there is more stuff there now.
