Our family wants to say a big THANK YOU to everyone who has supported us this past year by paying admission to visit our museum. The admission fees help the Kossuth County Ag & Motorsports Museum pay their operating expenses. Without weekly visitors, we wouldn’t be able to share our amazing collections with all of you. We hope you will continue to show up and spend some time looking at our one-of-a-kind collection of racing memorabilia!

Our museum and annual Hall of Fame ceremonies are made possible every year by the very generous donations we receive from individuals and business who share the same passion for racing that we do. We absolutely could not do what we do without their support and are so thankful for every single dollar donated! We want to recognize a special group of donors this weekend:
