“The Farmers’ Museum has been built on the conviction that a people who understand their heritage are better equipped to face the present and the future. From a knowledge of the resourcefulness, the ingenuity, the courage, the laughter of our people in the past comes a lift of the chin, a confidence in our hearts that we too shall solve our problems and look forward to the tomorrow of our children’s children.”
Louis C. Jones – 1948
And that vision continues to this day. Working together, Fenimore Art Museum and The Farmers’ Museum strive to welcome and connect people to our shared cultural heritage through exhibitions and programs that engage, delight, and inspire, while we cultivate an understanding of the rural heritage that has shaped our land, communities and American culture.
