Who's missing?


We shaped this exhibition based on the materials available in our collections, which are centered on white farmers.

We are looking for additions to our collections that would help make a more complete narrative of agricultural history in the Midwest, including indigenous peoples, people of color, and women. Please see our donation guidelines for more information.
