In October, museum members sponsored a Family Fall Festival. Games, costume contests, food, and hay rides made the day for all the ghost and goblins and their parents. Kids went home with memories of a good time and a bag full of goodies. The train division was formed by a group of train enthusiast. The group acquired a 15 gauge train with engine, riding cars, and a caboose. Working fervently through the winter of 2005, the train division managed to get the new train painted and cleaned up. The group put it on the tracks just in time for the 2006 Farm Heritage Days show, with thousands of people arriving to enjoy a short ride on the train. 2006 rolled around. Max Armstrong was the featured speaker for a banquet type dinner. Activities for the coming year were: A chili supper, pancake breakfast, tractor drive, dairy day displays and the new/old building was going up, and another fall festival was being planned. Everything was successful and kept the name of the museum in front of the public.The men worked hard during July of 2006 in the 100 degree weather to get the sandblasting, priming and painting done and the roof on the donated building. Once again just in time for the Farm Heritage Days Show 2006 the last nail was driven Three thousand people attended the Farm Heritage Days this year. Case was the featured tractor and there were several of them on the grounds with equipment to go along. A total of five hundred pieces of equipment were at the show representing all the tractor brands. There were steam engines pulling plows along side the tractors, tractors parading the grounds, tractor and garden tractor pulls, threshing, a saw mill, ladies demonstrations and a wide variety of vendors. The temperature was 100 degrees in the shade. This years show will be remembered by the HEAT! and the good time had by all. In October, outhouses appeared on the grounds. The museum was the talk of the interstate and town. What was happening? A one-of-a-kind "Outhouse Festival." There were 10 out houses built and painted to fit different themes. Camouflaged, Nascar, dairy cows, log cabins, a grain bin and a jail were just a few. It proved to be an interesting day. Trivia, ball tosses, stuff the outhouse, and dozens of other games were played. This all accompanied a craft show and the Family Fall Festival for the kids. Added this year were horse and wagon rides and a hay ride to the pumpkin patch. As of January 2007, there were more than 212 families that are active members of the museum. We have members in Illinois, Pennsylvania, Missouri, and many other states. To keep the museum going strong , a nine-member board of directors oversees the day-to-day operations of the museum. The board includes a president, a vice-president, and seven board members.
