This place is HUGE! And donation based. Also has two gift shops. Such a nice docent at the front desk and cow bell over the entrance door to be sure she sees you coming. Learned so much about barbed wire BEYOND how it's made and the history. Learned about its application beyond cow fencing to people fencing during wars and at internment camps. There's even a barbed wire brassiere there as a nod to the building's past as a ladies' undergarment factory. Cool stop totally worth the time. And time you do need to plan for cuz it's huge with great write-ups and categories per room. Lots of old farm machinery and how it used knots in rope to open the seed drop mechanism every measured distance, tools the fence line folks used to carry on the horses to maintain the barbed wire, branding irons, dust bowl history WITH a jar of the actual dust, etc. read more
