Relocation Notice: The Museum will be vacating the building at 1958 hays lane prior to the ending lease end date to find a new home and save on expenses. The last day open to the public will be on Sunday, March 30th, 2025. During this Hiatus the Museum Team and Board of Directors will work on funding, revamping the Museum, and finding our forever home. Please visit us before the big move and see the rarest collection of tractors. It's thanks to our community and support that we've been able to stay around. That same community gives us inspiration for our future and this next chapter of the Museum. Stay tuned to see where we land and make roots.
The California Agriculture Museum & Event Center is home to the nation’s most unique collection of tractors and artifacts. Interactive exhibits and special events tell the history of farm to fork, dating back to the Gold Rush era. Hear local storytellers boast of how California food producers did things bigger and better. California evolved from horse drawn, to steam driven, to fuel powered machines. Galleries and corridors wind you by harvesters, wheel and crawler track-type tractors, combines, trucks, art and photo galleries.
The museum is dedicated to enhancing the understanding and appreciation of California’s rich cultural heritage through the presentation of its collection, and rotating exhibits. The kid’s zone is designed to bring families back to a simpler time when play depended on your imagination.
