Farm museum

Mihkli Farm Museum in Viki, Estonia.

A farm museum, or museum farm, is a museum based on a historical farm and its buildings, presenting agricultural history. Often the farm is still a working farm, for demonstration and educational purposes. Occasionally these museums are required to move from their original locations to a new site.[1] This relocation can occur for various reasons, such as preservation efforts,[2] urban development, expansion, or improved accessibility for visitors.

See List of open-air and living history museums in the United States for a list of such farms in the U.S., or Open-air museum for farms in other countries.
