The Farm Museum invites visitors to tour the farm and participate in planned activities surrounding the farm's history and family heritage. Thousand of artifacts including farming equipment, cars, wagons, living necessities, letters, diaries, pictures and the homesteads themselves have been organized and preserved dating back to 1894.
