Turkey Red, a Hard Red Winter Wheat variety, was brought from the steppes of Russia (by these immigrants) to the Kansas prairie.
The Museum tells the story of a group of Low-German speaking Mennonites who emigrated from Russia in 1874 and settled near present-day Goessel, Kansas.
TheAgriculturalpart of the Museum features artifacts in the Turkey Red Wheat Palace that related to the progression of mechanization in farming from the 1800's to the mid 1960's.
F. A. Q. :
Why don't I see any horses and buggies in town ?
Do all Mennonite women wear bonnets and dresses ?
If this is a Mennonite museum, why don't I see any "Mennonites" ?
