The Wessels Living History Farm of York County, Nebraska, offers a look at what it was like to live on a Great Plains farm in the 1920s. The farm's attractive and well organized website includes interviews with people who remember life on the farm, pictures of Nebraska farming during the transition from horses to tractors, lesson and activity ideas correlating to Nebraska Standards, and much more. You can "Stand," on the farm or in the barn and look in every direction using VR technology. Learn about cash crops, milling wheat, moving livestock, and living without electricity.
