Some History of the Carroll County Farm Museum

Originally known as the County Home, or Almshouse, the property served Carroll County from 1853 to 1965, providing care for the poor and needy of the county. When the decision was made to close Almshouse, there was considerable discussion about the future of the land and buildings. Portions of the property had already been set aside for the county hospital and the county fairgrounds, but slightly more than 100 acres remained. Through the organization of a dedicated Board of Directors and the tireless efforts of County Agent Landon C. Burns, the Carroll County Farm Museum was established. The Farm Museum officially opened its doors to the public on August 13, 1966.

Since opening, the Farm Museum has hosted countless festivals, field trips, picnics, and family gatherings. Today, the Farm Museum remains a beautiful open space where visitors can enjoy nature while learning about Carroll County’s agricultural past.
