Rediscover the innocent beauty, the intricate wisdom and the enduring charm of our rural past.

Imagine turning the latch, opening the door and stepping over the threshold into another century. At The Farmers' Museum, every visit is a new adventure, determined by the path you choose - through the gallery in the museum's glorious Main Barn, where you can experience Wild Times!  A New York Animal Road Trip, through the 2010 season.  More information on the exhibition .

Cross the Creamery Green where The Empire State Carousel swirls joyously, past the Country Fair. You may linger among the authentic architecture of the 1840s village, examine a rare find in one of many historic gardens, or hurry on to milk the cow at the Lippitt Farmstead. Around every corner are opportunities to reconnect with a richly colorful and ingenious rural culture that can still surprise and enchant more than 150 years later.
