Farm Museum

The Farm Museum displays artifacts of rural life in Washington County, New York during the 1800’s - 1940’s.  Many aspects of agriculture throughout the county are shown including: dairying, poultry, potatoes, crop production and ice harvesting.  In addition to the main museum building, several authentic out buildings were moved to this location.  These buildings include a corncrib, summer Kitchen, milk house, and a one-room schoolhouse complete with woodshed and outhouses.

Our ancestors worked hard to produce the food needed for their own survival and the crops needed for the animals they kept.  The local farmers developed many tools to make their work easier and faster. Some inventions were very successful and others never got off the local homestead.

 Mission: To cultivate an appreciation for agriculture by educating visitors about our rural heritage.
