Preserving the past and educating the future! Located within Claude Moore Park in Sterling, Virginia, the Heritage Farm Museum lets you explore over 250 years of Loudoun County agriculture history through traditional, as well as, family friendly interactive exhibits.
The Waxpool General Store and Farm Kitchen exhibits allow visitors to experience first hand what rural life was like 100 years ago. The Museum's Gift Shop also offers a variety of unique and Virginia-made items. The Heritage Farm Museum also offers a variety of school, scout and family programs. Special seasonal events are scheduled throughout the year such as our Autumn Apple Festival and Tractorpalooza.
Operating as usual
Yesterday, our staff spent time preparing for our Black History Month talk presented by @theedwinwashingtonproject taking place tomorrow at 1pm. A new exhibition was put up with a mixture of artifacts from the museum collection and items on loan from The Edwin Washington Project and one of our board members. We have school books and other items from Loudoun schools on display. Come listen to the talk tomorrow, see the new exhibit, and enjoy a glass of wine from @fiftylevenwine.
