This museum is in it's infancy, but it's already worth the visit. Do you know where your whole grain cereal begins? Do you think cotton grows on trees? Most of us know we can count on the department store to sell us soft cotton towels, or the grocery store to sell us our favorite foods, but we seldom stop to think about where it all comes from.... visit the Ag Museum and learn.

The museum is just starting out in this location. It has a very nice collection of tractors that my 7 year old son loved. The displays that were at up were done nicely. Many of the displays have a nice description, but others did not. There was soo much stuff there that I often found myself telking my son I dont know what that is. But I do think that it will be much more informative once they finish setting up. We entered family of 4 for donation of $20, but I think the actual door charge is a little less.

This museum serves as a living memorial to the thousands of farm families that were pioneers in agriculture. It recognizes the region‘s agricultural heritage and displays a large collection of the machinery that was a part of the technological transformation that took place on the South Plains of Texas farms. The tractors, combines, plows, drills, and thousands of other farm-related artifacts are part of the Lubbock County Historical Collection.The museum is located on a beautiful 24.87-acre tract on the east side of downtown adjacent to Mackenzie Park. This prime site affords ample space and a stunning view of the downtown skyline. The site offers the museum the opportunity to interpret and showcase its tremendous collection in both outdoor and indoor settings. Other features include a main exhibit hall, Plains Cotton Growers Meeting Room, catering kitchen and spacious outdoor patio.Make it a day and also visit the nearby American Wind Power Center & Museum.

I grew up on a farm and seeing the antique farm equipment brought back old memories. This was a very nice facility and the curator was very friendly and informative.

Within 1/2m. of the Wind Power Museum in Lubbock is this, another gem of a museum.We only visited because of its' proximity to the aforementioned wind power museum, not being 'of the land' people but boy, are we glad we did!We had put Lubbock on the itinerary for our touring holiday primarily to pay tribute to Buddy Holly but found these museums a big bonus.The majority of exhibits are housed in a very large warehouse type building accessed via a driveway through lawned grounds dotted with out - buildings and various farming implements.We were greeted at the door by an elderly but very knowledgeable gent who proceeded to give us a comprehensive guided tour, explaining the types of tractors on display and their specific purpose in each case. The variety is enormous with possibly as many as 40 or 50 crammed into the immaculately presented building. In addition to these vehicles, there are harvesters for cereal crops of all types from wheat to corn and also ground - works preparation machinery. Every one is in running order and obviously well maintained and in excellent cosmetic order.Dotted about are numerous tableau depicting farming processes and there is a large display of farm vehicle models for the boy in us to drool over as well as a number of videos. Also, we were shown around the workshops where ongoing renovations are taking place, with a large selection of both modern and old tools on display.After the tour was completed, we were left to wander at will, taking photos as and when we wished.This is a superb museum which would interest anyone of a mechanical bent and we count ourselves fortunate that chance bought us to it. We can unreservedly recommend it.

If you are interested in your heritage in American Agriculture, do not miss this museum. It is across the road from the Windpower Museum.The exhibits are excellently restored. There is a wonderful cotton display as well as a blacksmith shop and a tool shop.The entrance fee is only $5.00 and well worth it. They have dedicated docents to guide you and explain things.

The correct street address for this museum is 1121 Canyon Lake Drive. My brand new GPS sent me about 4 blocks away, where it was previously located. Go to this address and you will find it. The museum has a huge collection of tractors of all brands. It also has kids pedal tractor and model tractor collections. There's a display on cotton and how it is processed. It has several farm implements. There is also a blacksmith shop with 3 short videos. All of of this is indoors. There are outside displays but they are not labeled as well and most are pretty rusty. When we were there in mid-week, there were plenty of knowledgeable docents who were anxious to answer questions.

This place has a lot of older equipment and displays showing how Agriculture was accomplished in the old days. If you enjoy museums and agriculture, you will love it. It is also a very fine place for meetings and get togethers with lots of room.
