Heritage Acres Agricultural Interpretive Center

Heritage Acres Agricultural Interpretive Center A fun and interactive early 20th century farmstead with events and exhibits Heritage Acres is a museum that informs about the agricultural life of the past.

With exhibits like our old farmhouse (where, on event days, you can even taste some homebaked cookies fresh from the antique oven), barn, elevator, chicken coop and one-room schoolhouse, you can immerse yourself in what life was like 150 years ago. We also have Prairieville which is Main Street of a time gone by all under one roof--the barber, doctor, dentist, saloon, soda fountain, smithy, livery and more.
