Our History
Our History
In the late 1980’s a few dedicated individuals realized how important it would be to preserve an historical record of earlier life on the farm. Once old farm equipment is destroyed or lost, a piece of our history is gone forever.

In 1991 the Farm Equipment Museum was established in what was known as the "old blue building" on the N.S. Provincial Exhibition grounds. The objective was to collect, save, restore, and display as much of our farm history as possible. In 2004, fundraising began to help construct a new building so that the growing number of artifacts could be properly housed. The 3600 sq. ft. building became a reality and opened in time for the Provincial Exhibition in 2005. Four years later, another expansion was required and another 8000 sq. ft. was added. The Museum now has over 5000 farm-related treasures displayed throughout our 11,600 sq. ft. facility.
Today, the Farm Equipment Museum is recognized as having one of the finest collections of farm-related artifacts in eastern Canada.
