Recently opened to the public on Thursday, March 1, 2012 at the Carnegie Museum of Montgomery County, Agriculture: The Cultivation of Montgomery County features the history of Agriculture in Montgomery County as well as the state of Agriculture today.
This exhibit presents information, both historical and modern, to provide context of the local, state and national agricultural impact on the economy and to demonstrate how interconnected the agricultural community is with the world population. What impacts one, impacts everyone.
This exhibit was developed in collaboration with League of Women Voters of Montgomery County Agriculture Awareness Committee, Montgomery County 4-H, Montgomery County Farm Bureau, North Montgomery High School FFA, Purdue Extension Montgomery County office, Soil & Water, Sustainable Indiana, South Montgomery High School FFA and Tuttle Middle School.
On display are old farm tools, maps, many FFA Jackets from around the county and items from the 1979 Farm Progress Show.
