Otter Tail County Museum, Fergus Falls

One of the best $5 investments to be had anywhere. Enticing exhibits on so many historical aspects of the greater community. Civil War, WW1, WW2, agriculture, fur trade, farming, civic development, ethnic and religious diversity. Vignettes so tastefully done using some of the original names of local vendors and practitioners. If you're not just a little impressed, you should be.

We had a great time on a rainy day here! One child & adult $5.00 admission well worth the price we spent an hour and a half wondering and looking at everything plenty for children to see there are checklist that they can take from the front desk to explore and find things that are in the museum so they can learn. Otter Tail County Museum has an incredible amount of Native American arrowheads artifacts and beating that should be on display there hidden away in drawers this is a shame but if you take the time and get to pull them open and take a look can also learn about the Minnesota woman that was found and family farm site where the Native American artifacts were found.
