The California Agriculture Museum is home to the nation's most unique collection of tractors and artifacts. Interactive exhibits tell the history of farm to fork, dating back to the Gold Rush era. Hear local storytellers boast of how California food producers did things bigger and better, evolving from horse drawn, to steam driven, to fuel powered machines, eventually becoming the state's economic driver. Learn how farming brought a variety of heritages and cultures to one region, to prosper together in this bountiful land. Fun and educational for the entire family.
The museum is dedicated to enhancing understanding and appreciation of California's rich cultural heritage through the presentation of its collection and rotating exhibits. The museum's core collection was established by Fred Heidrick Senior and consists of rare examples of tractors, harvesters, trucks, autos, horse-drawn implements, and other artifacts that tell the California story. The museum continues to grow through the generosity of California growers and collectors.
