Kent County is known for its agricultural history, and the Delaware Agricultural Museum in Dover is where you can learn all about this history and the impression it has left on the local culture.Some of the items showcased in the exhibits at this museum include artifacts, photos, documents, and agricultural-related machinery such as tractors and traditional farming equipment. You’ll also learn about the railway and the role it played in the industry.There is a village depicting rural life in the late 1800s. This is where you can see an old barn, windmill, general store, farmhouse, schoolhouse, train station, church, barbershop, and blacksmith shop.

Great place for the kids! loved the gift shop.

Nice little museum highlighting Delawares agricultural history. Run by caring people and volunteers. I was there for A Farmers Christmas, an annual event. If youre wanting bright, shiny and upscale, this isnt that type of place. But if youre interested in learning about the agricultural history of the state, this is a wonderful place to visit. The displays and facilities are carefully and thoughtfully maintained by dedicated staff and volunteers. This museum is small town America at best.

Very nice place, good history and lots to look at.

As a former city girl this museum taught me a lot. I just loved it. It was the chickens I could feed that won me over though. I plan on going back soon as soon as the weather gets warmer.

This place is great! There’s a lot of interesting farm exhibits inside and a wonderful model train exhibit that shows many of the local farms. Outside is a village you can walk through including a train station and RR tracks. We also love to visit the precious chickens and Lulu the pig (during the summer).

Nice place to go spend a Summer day to keep the kids occupied. There is not a lot of stuff they can touch and play with inside so depending on how young your kids are, it might not be ideal. My girls loved feeding the pig who is super social and calm. You also can actually go into the chickens little fenced in coop area and feed them as well. My daughter ended up with chicken poop all over her but it made for a nice laugh after her brief meltdown lol. The woman who was working there was SUPER nice. The school house bell is fun to ring for the kids too. They enjoy exploring the historic village outside.

The staff was wonderful with my boys... Definitely will be going back to see the church after renovation

When here yesterday they had a craft show. Very nice but we plan to bring family back for the museum part because there a lot to look at and explore little buildings and more pretty awesome.

Very enjoyable visit. Old Joshs Cabin was exceptionally interesting. We saw several pieces of old machinery we had never experienced before.

Bought back a lot of fun memories. Watching my Uncle Jim and his family working on their farms as a child in up State New York. Learned about more of the process I didnt know about as wellVery friendly help full staff

So interesting. Dont forget to pet their sweet pig.

Cool museum with nice exhibits on Delaware agricultural history. The village is also a lot of fun to see the old buildings and interpreters.

Nice place to learn some history about agriculture

We visited for a homeschool field trip. This was one of our favorite trips. The volunteers were very knowledgeable and made learning fun. It really seemed like we took a step back in time. I highly recommend a visit.

Excellent museum showing early farm life in Delaware. Includes some historic buildings that have been brought to the property. Lots of history of local folks who helped Delaware to grow and prosper.

This was very interesting; I would highly recommend to anyone but especially for kids. Lots to learn about the way things used to be done.

Great place for farm related antiques. Lots of parking,. Handicap also

The museum was clean. The staff was friendly. It was fun for the whole family. You can learn about history when you go outside and visit the villages. The price is affordable.

Very neat place to visit

Nice museum that provides a great educational experience for the kids and their families in the area. The staff is friendly and helpful to your questions. There is a small gift store located in the building.

Nice collections of AG equipment.

My son had his wedding here. It was the perfect venue. The bathrooms are a bit dated and you have to set up and take down, but you get use of the entire museum. The staff was wonderful to work with!

Ive never set foot in here. But youre my State customers and I love you guys. Youre doing a great job. Please keep Delaware an Agricultural state.

This is one of mine and my toddlers places to visit when there isnt much else to do. Visiting with Lulu (the pig) is the highlight of the whole place

We were greeted by Valerie who was very friendly and informative. She gave a plate of veggies to feed Lulu the pig and chickens. This is a great place for family of any age group. The gift shop had a variety of items and there is art for sale from a local artist. There is a small fee and you can use AAA for minor discount.

Wonderful place to visit. A lot of history

You gotta go to this place.. ya know why?! THEY HAVE BABY CHICKENS!the cutest little fluffy baby chickens so cute!!!! this is the best part of the whole experience! everything else is ok, but the babies chickens are awesome!

Very informational and awesome!

Great time got a few items at the auction. Great function for fund raising for the museum.

Took my four yr old here with his grandparents and there was something for everyone. Lots of things to look at and to touch. He asked to go back the next day.

I really liked the Christmas festival at the museum would differentially go again great for family outings.

Attended a wedding held at the grounds of the museum. During the downtime, we were able to walk around and explore the complex. It was very fascinating and 1 hour was not enough to see everything here. I would highly recommend stopping by, especially if you have children.

Give it a try. Its much bigger than it appears from the highway. Theres plenty for kids to do. They even have chickens you can feed & pet. Theres a room called the Touch of History if your child likes to play teacher or play cook in a kitchen. Little kids play for hours in this room. Also great for birthday parties. Plan on spending an hour or more visiting both indoor exhibit areas & the outdoor 1890s Village on Silver Lake. Come on in and visit, you wont be sorry. No one is ever disappointed! This is not a State run Museum so they need your support!

Loved the museum. If youre in the area its definitely worth checking out.

Great place to take the family to learn about the area as well as just walk around and see all the exhibits. Much bigger than expected.

This is one beautiful place
