CURRENT HOURS: OPEN DAILY; MON-SAT 9AM-4PM, SUN 12PM-4PM
Agriculture touches lives on an everyday basis. We all eat food grown on farms and wear clothing made from natural products. National Ag Day is a day to recognize the contributions of agriculture to the world. Living History Farms partners with a wide variety of community partners who are a part of today’s agricultural story to celebrate the role of Iowa and its agriculture. Guests can learn about how food products are made on the Iowa farm, the best food for a long and healthy life, and more through several fun activities and crafts. Along with fun ag-themed activities from our partners, enjoy livestock demos, food samples, antique machinery on display, visits to some of our historic sites, and tractor and gator rides in the 1875 town of Walnut Hill.
