“Factories in the Fields” Exhibition Grand Opening

Arthurdale Heritage is proud to announce a new exhibition, Factories in the Fields: an Experiment in Agriculture & Rural Industry.

The grand opening and ribbon cutting for this permanent exhibition will be on Saturday, May 4, 2024, from 4:00-6:00 p.m. in Arthurdale’s historic garage bays, located adjacent to the blacksmith’s forge. Factories in the Fields explores the intersection of subsistence agriculture and rural industry in the Arthurdale community. The exhibition features interactive elements that are fun for all ages as well as two historic Co-Op Tractors manufactured in the 1930s.
