Farms: Celebrating Century Farms in Paris, Ontario

The Paris Museum and Historical Society is excited to announce that we are in the final stages of our newest exhibit: an agricultural display to celebrate “The Year of the Family Farm”. This is a clip from our agricultural display. This project was made possible through a grant from Farm Credit Corporation to create an interactive presentation depicting “The Changing Face of Agriculture in the Paris Area”. The exhibit highlights the farmers of the Paris area who have been on the leading edge of progress in the Canadian Agricultural industry. This will be a permanent exhibit that will enable museum visitors to gain a deeper understanding of the evolution of rural life in Paris over the years. This project was completed in partnership with The Brant County Museum, as well as with the assistance of the County Plowmen’s Association and The Ontario Federation of Agriculture. This exhibit showcases 14 interviews with local farmers and families as they discuss the changes that they’ve seen on their farms over the years. These interviews are accessible through interactive touch-screen displays throughout the exhibit. We've are collected photographs and many different types of farm memorabilia to add to our display! Our ArgiSpirit Exhibit opened July 1st 2014. Come out Wednesday - Friday 1-4pm to hear from the people who helped shape our history, present, and future!
