There are public museums across the prairies that have gathered old farm machinery for preservation. The Western Development Museum in Moose Jaw and another one in Cardston come to mind. People think of the west as flat open grain fields, but someone had to build the roads and ditches that make it accessable now. Likewise, into the aspen forests, the fields had to be cleared before fencing or seeding. Lots of heavy equipment used there too.
