WHEN: Saturday, Jun. 4, 2011
WHERE: Larsen Tractor Test and Power Museum, East Campus
The University of Nebraska-Lincoln's Lester F. Larsen Tractor Test and Power Museum annual open house is 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. June 4. The free event on the UNL East Campus begins with a 10 a.m. Parade of Power.
From a 1910 International Harvester Auto Wagon to the latest 2011 Case International Harvester Tractor, decades of agricultural technology will parade around the world-famous Nebraska Tractor Test Track. Children's activities will follow the parade, then a noon barbecue. The free exhibition of agricultural technology will be open to the public through 2 p.m.
Because of road construction on Holdrege Street, enter UNL East Campus at 33rd and Merrill Streets.
Since 1920, the Nebraska Tractor Test Laboratory has tested nearly 2,000 models of tractors. The Larsen Tractor Museum was established in 1998. Its mission is to be the premier steward of advancements in agricultural technology through the development of collections, exhibits and programs for public benefit.
