Ross Farm Museum, Living history museum in New Ross, Canada
The Ross Farm Museum spans 60 acres of farmland, featuring restored buildings and traditional agricultural equipment from the 1800s farming era.
William Ross, a British Army veteran from Ireland, established the farm in 1816 after receiving a land grant following the War of 1812.
The museum maintains historical breeds of farm animals and demonstrates traditional skills like blacksmithing, wool spinning, and candle making through daily presentations.
The museum operates on weekends from 9:30 AM to 4:30 PM, with admission prices ranging from free for children under 5 to $10 for adults.
Edward Ross, the founder's son, documented daily farm life through detailed diaries that now serve as the foundation for the museum's historical narrative.
