The museum's extensive collection includes vintage tractors, farm machinery, tools, and household items that illustrate the evolution of farming and rural life from the 19th century to the mid-20th century. Visitors can explore themed galleries covering topics such as dairy farming, tillage, transport, and domestic life. The museum also features a recreated farm kitchen, a blacksmith's forge, and a collection of horse-drawn carriages.
