Day 3, our final day of the Fargo Horseless Carriage Club fall tour. We drove through beautiful Minnesota forest areas in full fall colors. We visited the Gottschalk Family Museums in rural Kimball, MN. Scott Gottschalk gave us the grand tour. We experienced the HUGE John Deere collections that didn't stop with the many tractors. There were extremely rare 1890's John Deere bicycles, John Deere pedal tractors, cast iron toys, lawn tractors, implements and much, much more! The Gottschalk collection also included over 200 vintage snowmobiles of many different brands, several being rare one-of-a-kind, prototype, or early production models. There was a traveling display trailer full of vintage racing snowmobiles and a Canadian military diesel snowmobile that has a running engine.
