Antique Farms are always interesting family outings that make history come alive. Just don't tell the kids it's a history lesson. Seeing how people worked and lived, especially in our own local areas really gives kids a connection to their heritage that is fun.
My friend told me her daughters were still playing "farm" weeks after the family toured a local farm museum. There's nothing like actually experiencing Living History to make it come alive.
If you are into collecting Antique farm implements, Milk Jugs or tractors, it's a lot of fun to go to Farm Museums and Country tractor shows. A lot of great people show up at these wholesome family days.
They are really fun and are a great way to spend family time together that will be remembered and appreciated. Believe me, kids go nuts with old Farm equipment, especially tractors!
I remember playing on old tractors as a kid, in my home town over 40 years ago! Playing farmer with my two wild brothers, on old ramshackled tractors is a memory I still delight in.
Who knows? Maybe that is what hooked me into the Antique Farm passion? Ok, I admit it, I'm hooked!
What is really amazing though is that you can find ancient relics at these shows often in Top running shape. Did you know you can still order parts for some of these living history machines?
To share in the fun, here is a list of some of the best Farm Museums out there. Here is a list of Farm Museums by Area:
