Sunflower Pioneer Power Association

Sunflower Pioneer Power Association Created to restore and preserve antiques of the Norton county, Kansas area, especially antique farming equipment.

In 1997, SPPA moved to its permanent location, 7.5 acres of land located on West Brockton Street on the north side of Almena, Kansas. A large collection of windmill heads and windmills can be seen every day. During the organization's annual show, antique tractors and other farm equipment are on display including demonstrations of corn shelling, rock crushing, wheat threshing, hand tie baling, rope

making, buzz saw and wood splitter. Also on the grounds is the Dry Creek school building, formerly located 10 miles north of Norton; and the 1900 Pioneer House.
