Charles Newcomb, Omaha (Neb.) contractor and wheel maker, developed the celebrated “Newcomb Shuttle” along with a cylinder filling machine in 1895. He was to sell 100s of these looms in the early 1880s in Nebraska, Kansas, and western Iowa. In 1889, with a modified fly shuttle loom, he moved to Davenport and set up an enlarged factory where he produced the “The Weaver’s Friend”, a counterbalance loom with two harnesses and two treadles. Later, “The Little Daisy”, a two harness fly shuttle loom and “Weaver’s Delight”, a four harness fly shuttle loom followed.
The Jim Brandenburg prairie photography series compliments the prairie gardens that can be viewed from the windows of the Prairie Room in which the photography hangs. The series consists of four photos, including an image of a thunder cloud, wheat, lightning, and a prairie chicken.
Created in 2011, the Cinco de Mayo tiles are located in the Eagle's Nest walkway between the Sahlstrom Conference Center and Sargeant Student Center.
The sculpture is made from cast bronze, Corten steel, and concrete. It has to stand up to the elements, and these are all robust materials that can take the dramatic swing in conditions that Minnesota experiences.
In 2022, Crookston artist Trey Everett was commissioned to create a wings painting inside the Eagle's Nest gathering space between the Sahlstrom Conference Center and Sargeant Student Center.
The Alumni Room houses historical artifacts, mostly from the Northwest School of Agriculture days, like the NWSA reunion guest book which dates back to the early 1900s, books from that time, fine china used for dining, chairs with covers sewn by hand with the NWSA logo and other images, and various pieces of furniture.
Designed by former instructor Christo Robberts and the former Bonsai Club, and installed by the U of M Crookston building and grounds crew, the plan was for the zen garden to be easy to maintain and a place to reflect.
