ag museum

The Knox County Ag Museum; which began in 1984, is proud to offer a visit back to our country's agricultural roots.  Devoted almost exclusively to farm and home lifestyles of the 1800's and early 1900's, the museum houses well over 4,000 items each depicting how our forefathers lived.  Over the years; generous donations of farm implements, household furnishings, historical items, and money from museum members and the community have allowed the museum to grow substantially in size and ability to preserve Knox County's agricultural past for future generations.

In addition to the Museum building, the Knox County Ag Museum’s volunteer committee maintains a late 1800's log house, a out house, a springhouse and a one room school house, the last remaining building from the Hiawatha Park.  All Museum buildings will be open and staffed during fair week and during other events scheduled at the fairgrounds throughout the year. Group tours may also be scheduled by contacting Coordinator, Paul Goossens at 740-397-6137 or Assistant Coordinator, Frank Goulde at 740-599-6065.
