About

The museum's mission is to show agriculture's past, present and future. Four buildings house early American farm and forestry tools and equipment, including antique tractors and a working 1930s sawmill.

Museum staffers care for a cow, rabbit, donkeys, pigs, goats, and chickens, and manages more than 500 acres of still-productive farmland. Learn more about them and help with their care at one of our ranger-led Pasture Pals programs. Staff also conducts guided group tours and educational programs correlated to the state's standards of learning (SOL). Programs cover livestock, plantation life, crops and soils, trades and crafts, an instructional nature trail and more.

Hours: The museum is open for self-guided tours daily from the first Friday in March through the first Monday in December from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. It's also available by reservation for groups.
