Welcome to the Larsen Tractor Test & Power Museum
The Larsen Tractor Test & Power Museum is housed in the original Nebraska Tractor Test Lab building. This building was built in 1919 and tractors began being tested in accordance with a newly formed state law which requires all models of tractors sold in Nebraska to first be tested. This process began in March of 1920 and has been going ever since! Currently the Nebraska Tractor Test Lab is located in the west end of Splinter Labs which is directly north of the museum. Tours of the test lab are availible with your visit provided the engineers are in the lab.
