Visitors will see the tools and equipment used on the farm, learn about the types of activities, including planting and harvesting crops, caring for and milking cows, butter churning and food preservation; and experience a recreated “farmhouse kitchen” with coal stove, International Harvester Refrigerator and old fashioned wringer washing machine.

The museum, located at 332 Main St. (Route 55), includes three floors of exhibits on the history of the Rondout and Neversink watersheds. Adult admission costs $2, children under 16 $1, and children under six are free. Visit www.timeandthevalleysmuseum.org.
