Agricultural History Museum | National Agricultural Center and Hall of Fame

Chartered by Congress in 1960 to serve as the national agriculture museum and memorial to farming leaders. Our mission is to provide education on the historical and present value of American agriculture and to honor leadership in agribusiness and academia.

Our normal operating hours for the public will resume at our signature event – Barnyard Babies Family Festival – on April 25, 2026. As a nonprofit organization operating on the generosity of our volunteers, we close the museum buildings during the winter months. However, we love to share our treasures, so if you are traveling through Kansas City and would like to visit us during October-April, please call so we can make arrangements for your visit. We will also provide private tours as well as field trips for students. Call 913-721-1075 or email info@AgHallofFame.com.

The National Agricultural Center and Hall of Fame serves as a crucial institution dedicated to preserving and celebrating the rich history of agriculture. Our museum showcases significant achievements and contributions made by individuals in the agricultural sector. Through our various exhibits, educational programs and special events, we aim to engage visitors and foster a deeper understanding of the importance of agriculture in shaping our society. We honor the legacy of Agricultural Hall of Fame members while providing an interactive learning experience for all ages. Our commitment is also to promote awareness about sustainable practices and the vital role agriculture plays in our lives today.

We are dedicated to engaging audiences of all ages and backgrounds through diverse educational activities. They include workshops for educators, exciting research opportunities, and educational programs designed with a special focus on youth. Each program is thoughtfully crafted to be age-appropriate and aligned with curricular standards, ensuring an enriching learning experience for everyone involved.
