Friends of the Tractor Test Museum are encouraged to participate, direct resources, and contribute towards the following SHARE Projects.

Showroom Improvement Projects.
The museum has approximately 6,000 sq - ft of showroom space. Contributions, materials, volunteer hours, and any additional resources that may be of value to enhance the museum's showroom space will be greatly appreciated.

Showroom Saturdays are announced throughout the year as designated workdays encouraging Friends to volunteer at the museum. Showroom Saturdays coordinate volunteer tasks related to painting, lighting improvements, display enhancements, and donor recognition throughout the designated showroom space.

If you are interested in being on the a Showroom Improvement Committee, making a contribution towards a project, or would like to be contacted in regards to the announcements of Showroom Saturdays, please contact us.

History Captivation Projects
There is a tremendous amount of history stored as personal experiences and knowledge directly related to the development, testing, and advertising of agricultural power and performance. It is important that this history is captured and shared with others before the experiences and memories are forgotten or lost forever.

If you are interested in learning more about designing a History Captivation Project or would like to donate information, knowledge, experiences, and memories to a History Captivation Project or during a designated Capture the History Day, please contact the museum.

Agribition Projects

The results of successful Agribition Projects are educational exhibits viewable in classrooms, museums, and online as distance education resources through avenues provided by the world wide web.

When completed, each Agribition Project becomes a tremendous resource for education, preservation, while exhibiting the past, present, and future development, testing, and advertising of agricultural related power and performance.

Contact the museum for details regarding any potential Agribition Project. Also find out how to contribute or volunteer towards the completion of a Tractor Test Museum Agribition Project. Each project results in a tremendous educational experience for everyone involved during all phases of development.

Resources for Agribition Project Research & Development

Successful Agribition projects provide continuing education for all who have the opportunity to view successful projects in person and each project published online has the opportunity to provide distance education to anyone at any location. The Tractor Test Museum may someday contribute towards the development of hundreds if not thousands of Agribition Projects around the world educating individuals about the past, present, and future development, testing, and advertising of agricultural related power and performance.

Realizing this potential, the Tractor Test Museum has established TractorPedia. This resource center, sharing the same operation hours as the Tractor Test Museum, is the gateway to the Nebraska Tractor Test Archives housed within the Tractor Test Museum. These archives provide a tremendous resource of information related to agricultural power and performence to enhance any agribition project.

Information related to tractor development, testing, operation, maintenance, repair, and restoration, is available through a variety of resources including books, magizines, manuals, and advertising literature provided by the Tractor Test Museum, the Nebraska Tractor Test Laboratory, and the University of Nebraska Libraries.

TractorPedia is now available online at http://tractorpedia.unl.edu.

In the future, additional online archives and resources will be added making TractorPedia an efficient gateway to accurate information for enhancing the research and development of Agribition.

Education, Curriculum, and Career Path Enhancement Projects.

The theme of the Tractor Test Museum's educational mission is: Chase Dreams, Plow Trails. It is our educational mission to enhance the sharing and acquisition of knowledge through all avenues so dreams are continued to be pursued and every trail to success is accessible to all.

The Tractor Test Museum is striving to play a significant role in the education through agribition projects, classroom curriculum enhancement, and career path awareness.

It is our goal to provide scholarships and internships for individuals pursuing dreams while plowing trails for others. Please consider making a contribution towards the development of The Chase Dreams, Plow Trails Scholarship Fund. If you have any questions, please contact the museum for more information.
