(KWNO)-The Rural Heritage Museum takes visitors back in time with exhibits about farm equipment, local agricultural history, and rural life. The museum will be open Thursday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. during the Winona County Fair in St. Charles. History buffs can also check out the nearby Gainey-McCarthy School.
Built in 1904 the schoolhouse has an angled entry and bell tower that makes it “a one-of-a-kind among the more than 100 that covered Winona County,” according to the Winona County Historical Society. Fair parking fees apply but the museum’s admission is a suggested free will donation of $5 for adults and $3 for students.
