Welcome to the Lester Larsen Tractor 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 available with your visit provided the engineers are in the lab.  

Museum Hours:

Tuesday - Friday 9am - 4pm (Closed on Mondays, and University Holidays/Closures)

Museum Closed: Friday, June 27th, and Friday, July 4th

Location:

The museum is located on UNL's East Campus.  From Holdrege street turn north onto the East Campus Loop, stay left and continue north.  The road will curve to the east at the Nebraska Tractor Testing Lab Track and the museum is the small white building on the east end of the track.  The parking lot directly south of the museum is for visitors.  There is a tall, brick smoke stack that is visible from a ways away, the museum is located near the base on its southwest corner. 

Another Give to Lincoln is in the books and we want to thank everyone who donated.  Although we didn't reach our total goal, we did raise a substantial amount that will help bring our total amount raised continue to grow.
