They have so much to offer. The museum itself is extremely informative and a great place to interact. The staff are always helpful and friendly.

Brenda Haslow

What a great museum. Lots to see and many of the exhibits have audio to go with them. As a history buff I couldn't spend enough time here. My kids had a great time too.

Weston Beal

We only had an hour to spend here and saw about half of the display. Spend a couple of hours and see it all.

Good museum, a lot of those display pieces work and they use the antique equipment to work the fields.

Mj Matthews

Gorgeous!!!!

Matt Salomon

They have a new and very well designed museum. You will be impressed with the quality and size of it. Covers early prehistoric groups, the wagon pioneers, early farming, and the development of technology through the last 100 years.

Great stop for the whole family. Lots of exhibits for all ages to interact with and learn some interesting bits of local and regional history. Definitely more information than can be seen or taken in in a single visit. Will have to go back a second or third time to fully appreciate all there is to see.

This is a very interesting museum about the history of the area. I enjoyed it while in Nebraska for the Eclipse 2017. The kids enjoyed the exhibits and the audio and interactive portions were well done and in good repair. Definitely go and visit if you are in the area. It is worth the money.

I cannot begin to express my excitement when I saw how much had been done. It made my day. As I was walking through I saw the covered wagon which was carved by my father, John McLellan Sr. Warmed my heart. Thank you too all that participated to make and bring this place alive. I truly thank you!!!

Very informational museum with lots of farming/Nebraska history, both local and statewide. There is also a barn with lots of old machines and vehicles on display. Super neat to see! I have been several times and they keep it clean and updated. Lots of activities for kids too!

Shirley Weihing

Always have a new exhibit

Leonides Martinez

It's bigger than expected! Plenty of material and historical artifacts to browse through. I really liked that it has several interactive spots and updated information, comparing today's lifestyle to old times. It shows the changes that happened in the region and how the technology evolved. It's worth the visit!

Steve S

Expect to spend some time here. Soooo much to take in. Extensive exhibits about agriculture and how it progressed in the area from dry farming to irrigation, from weed control to soil control. Good stuff. Very nice quilt exhibit dated from years ago. Spacious and large.

Rachel Ondrak

Okay, this is a MUST for American history of settlers and farming and pioneer life!! We loved it. Well done. Interactive. Kids age 3 to 8 loved.

Jim Miller

This is a must stop and visit Farm museum if you have never been here before. I have lived in Western Nebraska most all my life and have never for some reason taken the time to stop, but on this day my son in-law from New Jersey was with me and ask if we could stop and we did! He was amazed, I was amazed and when I arrived home we told our wives the museum is a must stop and see. Can't believe after all these years I didn't make it a priority. Make it your next visit you won't be disappointed. Jim

Marie Hein

Good animals

Doug Robert

Well put together. The educational potential is vast. Well worth the price of admission.

Organic Papa

Excellent museum with a wonderful group of volunteers. This is the temporary location of the NPS collection of William Henry Jackson paintings.

Doug Couse

Great spot to learn about the history of western Nebraska. They rotate exhibits so there is a good chance if you haven’t been in awhile you would see something new. $10 to get in and soak up some great history. Well worth it.

McKada Lee

Very interesting! Great procession of history in this area! Varied displays interspersed w interactive ones make a very impressive museum!

Denise Koster

This is a unique museum showcasing farming methods and agricultural topics of the past 150 years. Exhibits also show prehistoric settlement through today of the Scottsbluff area. One of the unique features is the "working farm" aspect. There are live cattle and growing crops. Definitely worth a visit!

Dustin beers

Great place prices are ok no senior or veteran discounts though

Bill Wineman

Nice new place with great displays

rachel gonzales

It's a great place to visit. We even had a wedding there in my family ♥️

Howard SINCLAIR

Lot of local knowledge.

Henry Karpf

Very informative! Also a few interactive exhibits for kids.

Robyn Dibbern

Great interactive museum suited for both kids and adults. $10 admission priced seems high but after experiencing the museum I would say the price is worth it. The ear buds provided didn't really seem necessary except for one of the places the rest mainly just provided music for the short video clips. Kids activities may have used the ear buds more. The video viewing rooms were a great touch such as hearing Indian history while standing in a teepee and gazing into the fire pit. Highly recommend this stop!

Kelly Zitterkopf

Wonderful experience, definitely worth a visit, or two... Or three!
