One of those museums is the California Agriculture Museum in Woodland, which has one of the largest collections of historic farm equipment in the state.
“Oh, it’s very exciting, you meet people from all over the world,” Wesley McKeen, head tour guide at the museum, said.
The California Agriculture Museum is full of tractors from California’s bygone era, many of which don’t look anything like modern tractors. One of particular interest is the Fordson Snowmobile tractor, which was used to farm and to carry mail to rural communities the Sierra. It’s just one of about around 200 different tractors in the museum.
