The Chatham fanning mill with hand tools for grain harvesting

Visitors to the Pasto Agricultural Museum journey back to a time when farmers used muscle power, both human and animal, to produce food and fiber. The museum has approximately 1,200 rare and unusual farm and household items dating from 4,000 BC to the 1940s or more than 6,000 years. Visitors can learn about early farm life as our nation grew while gaining hands-on experience with the history of agriculture and household equipment by turning the cranks and moving levers.

We are located on the Ag Progress Days site. (driving directions) Please see "Tours" under "Site Navigation" for specific directions to access the museum building.
