A tractor towing a "people mover" will take you from the parking lot in a hay field to the pioneer village.
There are cool old and weird things in every building. There was a carbon fiber fishing pole that had been hit by lightning and a potato picker belt (looks lethal), old stop lights and toys, corsets and washing machines.
| Ikey tap dances in most photos now. |
These old cabins were moved from Salt Lake City and house collections of printing presses, shoe shop, an old soda shop.
The ice cream was made with a "Poppin' Johnny" John Deere engine
churning the freezers.
I can't even guess how many tractors were at the museum. A million maybe.
| Ikey climbed around on the caboose and the kids tried a merry-go-round for the first time. Ikey didn't like it. Jovie wanted to go faster. |
Some of these motorcycles were as early as 1907. Steve McQueen's personal HD was in the collection.
We ate a picnic lunch in the hay field and the tractor driver came over to show us pictures of his own restored vehicles and to share some carrot sticks.
Ikey insisted on a hike, so we walked on a path from the Bridal Veil Falls viewpoint down to the park. I carried Jovie on my shoulders because her socks were stuck through with cheatgrass from our bushwacking to check out a sheepherder's wagon.
