Manitoba Agricultural Museum, Agricultural museum in Austin, Manitoba, Canada.
The Manitoba Agricultural Museum is a collection of machinery and buildings that documents farm life and work across the region. The grounds house hundreds of vintage farming machines and several residences, barns, and workshops dating from the 19th and 20th centuries.
A farmer named Thomas James Carrothers donated his land in 1954 to establish the site and preserve the memory of early agriculture. The grounds sit on a historically important trade route that once connected fur traders and settlers.
The site displays farm work methods and equipment from early agricultural practice, still visible in the heritage buildings scattered across the grounds. These objects give a direct sense of how farmers carried out their labor more than a century ago.
Visitors can camp and picnic on the grounds and book guided tours to learn more about the collection. There is also a small shop with local crafts and souvenirs.
The collection houses one of the oldest bridges in the province, the Pembina Bridge from 1893, preserved with care on the site. This structure shows how building techniques and transport methods changed over time.
