Abstract: The neutrino, the most abundant and least understood of the elementary particles of particle physics, has fascinated and frustrated experimentalists and theorists for decades. Over the past two decades, several ambitious experiments have measured many properties of the neutrino, including the phenomena of flavor mixing, by which neutrinos from one type transform into another. These experiments have revealed the first definitive proof of new and unknown physics not currently described by the Standard Model of particle physics and earned Nobel prizes. I present a brief history of the experimental probes of neutrinos and their properties and survey the current and future landscape of large scale neutrino experiments searching for the source of the matter anti-matter asymmetry in the Universe.
