July 3 we left Iroquois, SD and on our way to MN we stopped at the Agricultural Heritage Museum in Brookings. It is dedicated to the preservation and interpretation of objects that relate to South Dakota's agricultural history and rural heritage. The special exhibit right now is about sheep raising in the 30's and 40's. There is also a Farm Power gallery which features animal, human,steam, wind and internal combustion power. A fully restored 1915 Case Steam Traction engine is the exhibit's centerpiece. We left Brookings at 5 p.m. And headed for nephew Rod's farm in Reading, MN where we camped for the night. An added bonus was visiting with the family and attending a campfire until 11 p.m. July 4 we drove into Worthington to the Pioneer Village to celebrate the holiday. There was a tractor parade, the Village was open for touring, and in the afternoon Rod and his son Rodney were in a tractor pull.
July 5 - 16 we visited with my sister, Sister Dominic at the Good Counsel motherhouse in Mankato, MN. Enjoyed visiting with friends Art and Char Schuch, enjoyed the Amboy Cottge Cafe and my nieces and nephew in New Prague. Especially enjoyed marathon games of GOLF with the Krebs Sisters and wonderful meals with the Sojourner Congregation. A really good visit with my sister!
July 16 we left Mankato and traveled to Minneapolis. Sunday we visited the Model Train Museum and Jack and I enjoyed the layouts and the advice we got from the men who were working on their layouts. They also advised us to go to Duluth to see the train museum and depot there. From the model train museum we moved to the MN Transportation Museum at the Jackson Street Roundhouse.
Monday was my day --- a trip to the Mall of America for some serious shopping and lunch at the Johnny Rocket Cafe. FUN!!!!
