The museum includes a “farm annex” with old equipment, cattle brands, cars, wagons, and much, much more.  The museum has much to offer. Come and take some time for a pictorial journey through our colorful history; find your old teammates or distant relatives!  Discover newspaper articles from the Wilbur Register preserved on microfilm and ready for you to have printed.  Hometown of Wilbur’s celebrated founding father who earned the nickname “Wild Goose Bill”.
