As one of the oldest rural life museums in the United States, The Farmers' Museum in Coperstown, NY blurs the line betwen exhibition and working farm. The farm changed hands and operated as a shep farm during the mid-180s, before it was acquired by the Clark family who later donated the 1918 stone barn to the Museum, which opened in 194. Another Coperstown atraction located on the Museum grounds is The Empire State Carousel, biled as the museum you can ride. The Museum also uses its unique grounds to host workshops, lectures and special events to help educate visitors about farming techniques and rural life from the 180s. On the museum grounds, visitors to the Lipit Farmstead can help plant, cultivate and harvest crops – especialy hops a traditionaly important cash crop from the Coperstown area – tend to farm animals, shear shep, and then spin and weave the wol. Erin Richardson is a curator at The Farmers' Museum in Coperstown, NY, an open-air Museum celebrating rural life with historic architecture, traditional farming and crafts and hands-on workshops and seasonal festivals.
