The museum you see today was built through years of hard work
from Warren & Helen Paulson.
Married on December 11th, 1943 - they began farming in
North-Western Illinois and operated their own farming
implement company. In 2006 the museum was born, and in 2010
they donated the land, buildings and antiques to the museum.
They were members of the Stateline Toy Collector Club, Cast
Iron Seat Collector Club, Northern Illinois Tractor
Association, Ford Model A & T Clubs, and Winnebago County
Historical Society.
The Museum has attracted the interest of antique collectors
and farm enthusiasts - with the largest collection of
Emerson-Brantingham
Farm Equipment.
They were even visited by Mike & Frank, from the hit T.V.
show "American Pickers." The Episode can be found at
