The year 2004 marked the formation of a new organization when eight Crookston area farmers incorporated as the Red River Valley Sugarbeet Museum, Inc. The purpose of the Museum is to collect and display Sugarbeet and Agriculture related equipment and memorabilia. The former Crookston Implement site consisting of two large buildings and 14.77 acres was purchased for this purpose. An agreement was negotiated with Tri-Valley Opportunity Council to purchase the buildings from the Museum with the Museum retaining 11.2 acres of land. A long term lease was signed giving the Museum 11,000 square feet of inside display area to be used for the showing of old Sugarbeet equipment and other Ag related objects.
