LOL re: "old guy".  I had to watch it to see who it was. Pat doesn't turn 80 until January. Among our volunteers that puts him in "middle age".  


Depending upon who you talk to the museum is either 15 or 17 acres, but once you're over 10 acres does it really matter? ;)


There are lots of duplication of some of the equipment. In the early years they took everything they were given and it wasn't a good idea because now they are out of space. Legally, they can't get rid of anything.


The nostalgia of "my grandfather - father - I - etc had..." is part of why we have repeat visitors. Not to mention you can't see it all in one trip.


We were all impressed with the production quality. This is the second time they've tried to get something like this done. The first one wasn't that great. I'm not sure how much they had to pay for this but I know it was covered by a grant.

Wow, excellent production quality! Thanks for sharing this. I counted three times where you are visible. Close to the end is an old guy in traditional overalls working on a tractor... wearing a bluetooth earpiece. :D

I enjoyed this, a lot. I recognized several pieces of equipment my grandfather Andrew used to have for his potato farming. He was also quite a carpenter, including building homes near Orlando and I-don't-know-where-else. He was also a fire-and-brimstone preacher who was very intimidating, to put it rather mildly.

What is most surprising to me is how huge the facility is. I had envisioned something between the size of the Chamber of Commerce and the railway museum, not something that has to be filmed thousands of feet in the air to get it all in one camera shot.

I didn't film this video; I didn't edit this video; I didn't narrate this video; I didn't upload this video to YouTube. Unbeknownst to me, I did get "caught" in the filming of it so you'll see me in a couple places if you look quickly.


I did link the video to the Ag Museum website. That turned out to be easy.


If you're interested at all in what the Ag museum is all about, scroll completely to the bottom of the web page to find that link.
