The Agricultural Museum of New Brunswick was founded in 1983 by members of our agricultural community to let others know about our province’s farming history and pride in its rural roots. Our campus consists of a main building, a Blacksmith’s Shop, a Railway Gate House and the former Apohaqui Train Station. We have an interesting Dairy Display that hosts a most unusual artifact; a calf, born with 1 head, 2 bodies and 7 legs! Hundreds of artifacts and documents have been gathered over the years, many with an interesting history or story to share.
Located on land once associated with the 8th Hussars, the museum is entirely volunteer-run and supported by the community. Visitors can explore exhibits that highlight agricultural life, traditions, and the tools that shaped rural New Brunswick.
Admission is free, with donations welcomed to help keep this important history accessible for future generations.
In the Fall, they end the season with Harvest Days, a day when they take artifacts out of the Museum and operate them for the public to view. Staff demonstrate threshing grain, churning butter and the making of apple cider, to name but a few. The museum also will host a live auction.
