HASTINGS COUNTY MUSEUM OF AGRICULTURAL HERITAGE

Our mandate is to recognize and preserve our agricultural heritage for future generations by displaying and demonstrating artifacts in a living environment, which will emphasize their educational and nostalgic value. Farmtown Park is the home of the Hastings County Museum of Agricultural Heritage in Stirling, Ontario, which celebrates the culture of rural Ontario and the importance of agriculture and the farmers who provide us with safe, local food. The idea for the Hastings County Museum of Agricultural Heritage was born in 1986 at the International Plowing Match in Stirling as a way to capture the history of agriculture and rural life in Hastings County. Twenty-five years later, Agmuseum at the Stirling Fair Grounds is an amazing facility showcasing rural life and our living farming heritage. In 2012, the name was changed to Farmtown Park to reflect all the new developments. Farmtown Park is operated by the Hastings County Museum of Agricultural Heritage. It is a unique tourism destination and cultural center for Hastings County and the Quinte region. Come explore our rural heritage and learn about agriculture.
