Southwest Dairy Museum, Agricultural education museum in Sulphur Springs, Texas.
The Southwest Dairy Museum is a museum in Sulphur Springs dedicated to dairy farming history. It contains exhibits that show how milk moved from farm to consumer through various stages of production.
The museum was founded in 1991 based on efforts that started in 1982 to save artifacts and documents from American dairy farming. This initiative grew from a desire to preserve the memory of rural life.
The displays show how people lived and worked on dairy farms before electricity reached rural areas. You see the daily routines and tasks that shaped family life in these communities.
Visitors can explore the museum on weekdays with guidance from knowledgeable staff members who lead tours. The building is located near downtown and easy to find.
