A small town of 4,043 people, but lots to see.
Other than lots of farms, silos, corn and soy beans.
Our first stop was "The Field of Dreams", this is where the movie was built, about the guy on a corn farm loved baseball and he built a baseball field in his yard, the saying was "build it and they will come"
I recognized this house from the movie.
This is the driveway comming into the farm.
A further view of the house.
And of course the baseball field.
Our next stop was the National Farm Toy Museum.
It was awesome, They had every type and make of tractor you can imagine, along with different attachments, plows, combines, etc.
They has this scale model of a fair, it really looked real, the people were probably an inch tall. Incredible.
My Dad always had Farmall, International Harvester tractors on the farm, I remember this sign well.
Our next stop was a quilt shop, as we left, we spotted the Basilica of St.Frances Xavier. What a structure.
Then I went into the Botsford Historical House and Doll Museum.
This was apparently the first house, other than a log cabin, built in the area. It was very victorian inside, and no cameras. The doll collection consisted of over 1,000 dolls.
