The Orange County Farmers’ Museum is a private, non-profit organization solely supported by donations, events and programs held on the grounds. In addition to our exhibits, the museum provides various educational activities for children and adults.
With a special license to operate within a County Park the Orange County Farmers Museum is 100% staffed and operated by volunteers who dedicate over 2500 hours each season to offer the communities and those visiting with free events and activities that are suitable for the entire family.
The Museum is chartered by the New York State Department of Education, Board of Regents.
Our Mission
The Orange County Farmers Museum operates in the public trust as a museum of service and interpretation in connecting objects and ideas relevant to the farming history of Orange County, New York.
