Home to the second largest agricultural exhibit in Tennessee, the Fayetteville Lincoln County Museum has a wide variety of historical agricultural items including a Fordson Tractor. The fordson tractor was released in 1907 by Henry Fordson and his son after Henry had a dream about an automotive plow for farming. This tractor had a lot of steel in it and two major flaws. It was made with a car radiator causing major overheating. The one on display at the museum overheated so badly that it cracked the manifold. You can also find a variety of horse/mule-drawn equipment, a wall of handmade tools such as crosscut saws, a poplar tree log that has been hollowed out with handmade tools to make a trough, a wheat thrasher, and so much more.
