North Ings Farm Museum, Agricultural museum in Dorrington, England.
North Ings Farm Museum is an agricultural collection on the edge of the Lincolnshire Fens with vintage tractors, commercial vehicles, and farm machinery. A narrow gauge railway runs a short circuit around the site and displays historic locomotives in operation.
The museum was founded in 1990 and focuses on preserving traditional farming methods through a collection of vintage machinery and historical equipment. The exhibits date from the period when steam power was used in the fields of the region.
The displays show tools and equipment that shaped how farmers worked and lived in this region for generations. These objects help visitors understand the hard physical labor that farming once required.
The museum typically opens on the first Sunday of the month from April to October and visitors should allow several hours to see everything on the site. The grounds are relatively flat and accessible for visitors of all abilities, though sturdy footwear is recommended.
The narrow gauge railway features named locomotives such as Swift and the Hunslet 7120 Bullfinch, some of which are brought into operation on special event days for visitors. These engines were originally designed for other industrial tasks across the region.
