Outdoor exhibition

• See renewable energy in action at the Canada Agriculture Museum’s Energy Park: Nature at Work. Farms are not only consumers of energy, increasingly they are also producers. Take a stroll through this outdoor park and try your hand at “harvesting” energy using our solar interactive. See if you can beat the wind and pump water faster than a windmill!

Exhibitions located in the loft of the Dairy Barn

• Tractors looks at the "farmer's" office in the field". This exhibition shows how the tractor has evolved from an unfamiliar oddity on Canadian farms to a commmonplace tool in less than 100 years.
