    Grandkids love this place. I enjoy this place I was raised on a farm and my granddad and great-granddad had a lot of this same equipment on their farm sure brings back a lot of memories for me. Stop by here again this past week every time I stop by here I always find something new here it always changes to can't wait til the next tractor show.

    A hidden gem within Vista! A beautiful 55-acres full of history. Friendly, helpful volunteers and a calendar full of interesting events. Check out the Vista Gem & Mineral Show 2x’s a year in April & October. So many wonderful events throughout the year. If you enjoy walking around and going to artisan type events check this place out. Bring sunscreen if you go, it does get hot and cash for purchases! πŸ˜‰

    Amazing walk through, much larger property than pictures make it out to be. All the volunteers and employees were extremely helpful in explaining things if I had questions. Will most definitely visit again.

    This place was surprisingly fun! My dad used to work on Caterpillar equipment so he took us around and introduced us to his world. It’s spread out over many acres so be ready to walk. If it’s rainy I highly recommend rain boots. It was very muddy. Lots of photo opportunities. Great for all ages.

    It was amazing, they have so many things to see. For those interested in history and the evolution of the 20th century, the staff were friendly and admission is nearly free. $4 dollars for 2 adults and a child free. They need volunteers, and I'm planning on joining myself, go see it for yourself.

    This is the coolest thing around, and that's saying something... this is San Diego! I'd suggest attending any of their festivals- you will be amazed when you see them operating these steam and gas powered antiques. Some of the machines on site are one of a kind, and all of them are incredible! I believe most people operating the site are volunteers, so be cool! Come check it out - I'm sure you will love it and probably learn a lot about our history!

    This museum is very cool. Lots of stuff to look at and wander around. They have a neat little gift shop too. There is a blacksmith and a food court, both were closed today but we look forward to coming back to check out everything. Beautiful grounds and such nice people.

    Neat place. There’s quite a lot of old tractors, farm equipment, old time vehicles, and buildings that are made to look old. There’s a black smithing school there, and they were working on a new piece for their class. I liked walking around and photographing the sceneries.

    My 5 year old has a field trip here and we loved it. A blacksmith is onsite here too.

    Best time watching and learning from the Blacksmiths/welders. Christmas event with candy canes, hot cocoa, tractor night rides touring all areas and Santa.

    My husband wanted to go, and the weather was predicted to be perfect for spending time outdoors. It also sounded like something I could take our new dog to practice being around people and noises, but didn't think it would really interest me much. I was right about the dog aspect, but wrong about it not being interesting. There was so much more than old engines and motors. There were barns filled with all kinds of interesting "stuff", and wonderfully informative people who were happy to explain and share their knowledge about the items on display; working looms, amazing antique clocks, blazing forges where blacksmiths hammered red hot iron, antique sewing machines, carpentry and wheelwright tools, and so much more. Families with kids, from toddlers to teens, seemed to be enjoying the sights and activities like tractor rides, hands-on demonstrations like corn grinding and weaving, including some farm animals to meet and pet. A pleasant, fascinating, and inexpensive way to spend a day for all ages.

    My son absolutely had a blast here. They have so much to see. We LOVED the model train museum and the guys building it were super helpful and delightful to talk to! They have a lot of room to walk and you'll always find something new to look at.
