Western Heritage Center, Monroe

The kids loved this little museum located on the Evergreen County Fairgrounds. They got to climb on old tractors, push switches that made the milking machines go, and generally marvel at all the farm equipment of the last century. Seeing some of the old farming tools brought back sweet memories for the adults, too. What a wonderful idea to preserve some of our history - free entrance, but donation supported, so please contribute if you go.

Would've been a better experience if it had been open. Looks like a major remodel is currently underway. A lot of relics are outside so you can look around but there's no information on what you're looking at. It's fun to try and figure out what things are and what they were used for.

Amazing place! Our 3-year old daughter was happy to play with tractors and trains there. A lot of interesting things for adults too, such as old posters, tools and equipment. Highly recommend to visit, nice option to have fun in rainy weather!

This place has been an extraordinary surprise for us and our seven-year-old grandchildren. So far two of the grandchildren have come away with great excitement about their hands on experience here. One of the most valuable assets is the small staff who are so proud to describe how they used the old equipment when they were young.

Jerry will be missed; his family and locals contributed plenty to this wonderful place. Hands on, old timey exhibits, tractors, artifacts, machinery and minerals entranced my child and will for others. My son marveled at the typewriter lol!! Simple engineering that works, better than a STEM class to visit here
