Farm Type: History Museum
Region
SouthTown
BrooksThe 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.
