Cost for the event is as follows:

• Admission $7.00 Children 10 and under are free
• Early Access at 8:00 am for $20.00 is good for both days

The National Farm Toy Museum is a small-scale adventure into the history of farming. It's your chance to revel in the Museum's collection of farm toys and unique exhibits covering agriculture's amazing history.

In addition, motorists are advised to expect temporary travel restrictions on Friday, June 2nd, during the annual tractor ride through Dubuque County. The annual Summer Farm Toy Show Tractor Ride will be held Friday and follows a 50-mile loop beginning and ending in Dyersville with visits to Epworth and Cascade. In Cascade, make sure to get a taste of Moski's BBQ during the stop. I highly recommend it!

According to the Dubuque County Road Department temporary restrictions are expected from 8am to 3pm on these county roadways: Dyersville East, Holy Cross, New Vienna, Gun Club, Placid, East Pleasant Grove, Roller Coaster, North Cascade, Kearney, Farley, Jamesmeier, Prier, and Olde Hawkeye roads. 

I was actually able to catch up with Amanda Schwartz, Manager and Curator of the National Farm Toy Museum about the event and its impact on local communities. check out the full interview below!
