Adopt-A-Building

One of the primary goals of the Delaware Agricultural Museum and Village is to ensure the long-term preservation of buildings and artifacts that reflect Delaware’s rural heritage and unique agricultural history.  The Museum offers opportunities for private individuals and businesses to help preserve these treasured symbols of our state's past through our "Adopt-A-Building" program.

The Museum's historic village is a community known as "Loockerman Landing" and it is home to several fully restored 19th century buildings containing period artifacts and associated displays.  The buildings include the inspirational St. Thomas Methodist Episcopal Church,  the multi-functional Woodside Train Station the fully-stocked Reed General Store, the Gourley Barbershop, the still active Johnson Blacksmith and Wheelwright Shop, the cozy Carney Farmhouse with its operational summer kitchen, and the Mill Lane Schoolhouse which showcases the simple but effective education provided for children in rural communities.  The Grist Mill is a period reproduction showcasing houses 19th century milling equipment.


While each of these buildings serve as a present-day nostalgic reminder of a less-complicated past, you can help us ensure that they are preserved for future generations. Please help us in celebrating the unique past of the First State's heritage, as represented in our historic museum village.
