Le Sueur County Pioneer Power Gas Engine Grove
In the shade of the large basswood, hackberry, and maple trees, many different makes and sizes of gas engines are on display, with some doing various jobs that they were designed to do 60 or more years ago. Some are washing clothes, grinding feed, pumping water, making flour, sawing wood, cutting silage, etc. Along with the engines are other interesting displays such as cast iron seats, corn planter lids, tools, windmills, antique chain saws, outboard motors, snowmobiles, wagon wheel shop, etc. The grove is a bee hive of activity.
