See and hear how farming has changed over the past 160 years as you stroll through a beautiful prairie on our Time Lane. See first-hand how the farmers of Minnesota survived in the 1800s, thrived in the 1900s, and developed the modern farming techniques of today.

If you have a group of 10 or more, call 507-835-2052 and we’ll arrange for an interpreter to accompany your group. It is a fun, outdoor experience for family reunions, groups of scouts, students, friends, and professionals. Tram transportation from each farm site is available if needed.
