Visitors with specific interests

Last week was an interesting time at the museum.  We had visitors from just over three years of age to one in his mid eighties.  Several people had read articles in farm magazines or online about some of the items in our museum.  The first visitor last Thursday drove over 100 miles from Underwood, Minnesota because he had read about the Ford tractors with the V-8 engines and the one with the V-12

The same day Mark Lee from Havre, MT came to see our 1917 Maxwell and get information to help with the 1920 Maxwell he is restoring.  He traveled over 850 miles on his motorcycle to visit us.  Mark was able to take some photos and measurements to help with his restoration.  His car is similar enough to ours that this information will help him understand how some of the areas of his car should look.  He shared some of his knowledge about Maxwells, and I was able to learn some things from him also.
