and beyond our borders.

Delaware Agricultural
Museum and Village

The Delaware Agricultural Museum and Village represents Delaware’s largest and most important industry. Through our exhibits and associated programs, we strive to increase public awareness and appreciation for both the history and the future of this vital sector of Delaware’s market economy. Our mission is to:

Promote agricultural education, awareness and an appreciation

for cultural heritage, enriching the lives of the people in our community,

our state and beyond our borders.

The Museum's collection has grown exponentially over the past forty+ years and with that many changes have taken place. Among the changes are the phased renovation of our 38,000 sq. ft. building, the restoration of the structures in our historic village and the installation of new exhibits. Our vision is to:

Create a model multi-use facility celebrating Delaware agriculture

and the diverse communities served by it.
