Surface Creek Creamery

The next building has been furnished and set up by the Uhlan Austin family with old equipment from the Surface Creek Creamery. The plant was housed in a converted fruit packing house on the highway in Eckert. It served the public from 1930 until 1977. Those who brought in the cream from surrounding farms were paid by the percentage of butterfat in their cream, Challenge Butter, made here, regularly took first place in many of the semi-annual convention competitions. The Pioneer Town display features cream separators, a cooler, cream tester, and a wooden churn...a first at the original creamery. Photos of early employees and of a Challenge truck are arranged on the walls. A shelf displays a collection of glass milk bottles.
