Farm Type: History Museum

The Brooks and District Museum

We are situated on 7 acres within the City of Brooks. The 19 historical buildings, 23 antique tractors, and close to 70 outdoor farming and oil & gas implements perfectly encapsulate the area’s unique spirit. Our displays pay tribute to farming & ranching, the CPR and EID, as well as the North-West Mounted Police and John Ware. Enjoy a self-guided tour through this hidden gem.

Open Farm Day activities will include:

• a parade of the antique tractors around the museum grounds
• a look into the farming life of early settlers to the area with hands-on opportunities to make ice-cream and butter, along with doing laundry without machines.
• play old-fashioned games without technology and practice your roping skills on the calf that won’t get away.

The museum will have Popcorn, Sno Cones, and Cotton Candy available for purchase.
