About Wagner Farm
Wagner Farm is an 18.6-acre farm preserved for the educational and recreational enjoyment for all. In programs offered, you can see how bread was made in a wood cook stove, hear the rooster marking time with his crow or maybe even milk one of the farm’s many cows. A visit to Wagner Farm affords you the opportunity to take part in and experience firsthand the workings of a genuine American farm.

Visit our Award Winning Heritage Center!
• Explore the world of agriculture and rural life in the Main Exhibit Hall
• Watch the daily milking of the Wagner Farm's cows at 5 pm in the Milking Parlor
• Learn about crops and produce all year round in the Science Classroom & Greenhouse
• Travel back in time and "shop through history" in our 1930's Grocery Store

We welcome all groups to come and experience the farm including preschools, elementary classes, adult day care groups and scout groups.

In addition to the wide array of activities at the farm, we also have public sales of mums, pumpkins, and Christmas trees. Stop by and see what’s in bloom.
