While I visited Edith Gaffner earlier this week to deliver her iPod I spoke to her husband about the American Farm Heritage Museum which is a project they support.

At the American Farm Heritage Museum, we believe in working together to keep the past alive. By preserving tractors and holding our annual Heritage Days program, we are able to show a younger generation what life was like for us, for our parents, and for our parent’s parents. We believe there is a great deal to be said for the generations of farmers who worked the land year after year. Our museum is a tribute to their hard work.

A couple of events planned there this year include their Heritage Days festival July 27-29 and the Second Annual Outhouse Festival & Auction on October 13. Plan to go if you need a new outhouse. The museum is located 45 miles east of St. Louis on I-70, exit 45.
