Agriculture: The Cultivation of Montgomery County

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.

On display are old farm tools, maps, many FFA Jackets from around the county and items from the 1979 Farm Progress Show.
