Museum

Since 1978, the Monterey County Agricultural and Rural Life Museum has acquired, preserved and interpreted artifacts, equipment and buildings relating to Monterey County’s agricultural heritage. A restored farmhouse, one room school, blacksmith shop and King City’s train depot allow visitors to take a step back in time.

Exhibits in the barn trace the development of Monterey County agriculture from Mission Days to the present. The fascinating history of irrigation is recounted in the History of Irrigation Museum. Outdoor displays of farm equipment are reminders of how crops were sown and harvested in years past.
