What can you see at the Texas Agriculture Education & Heritage Center?
The Center has displays and events to carry out its purposes. In the future,
agricultural products grown and produced in Texas will be available for sale.
There is a museum display area that depicts the history of farming and ranching
in the South Central Texas area.
Various aspects of a working farm will be on display. Farm and ranch
equipment, old and new, will be part of the Center. Displays will show how
important Texas and American farming is to the production of the world's food
supply.
The Center will have events for classes from schools. The education of
children in the heritage and importance of agriculture is a prime objective. It
is important that young people see the value of farming and ranching and be
attracted to agriculture as a career.
The Center is, also, being developed as a tourist attraction. An area dealing
with Texas History will be located in a dome-type structure tying in the wings
of the complex together. A map of Texas showing its regions, will be in the
floor of this section. Texas products and gifts will be available for sale in a
store in the complex.
Over the years, a typical old farming village will be developed that will
possibly include a blacksmith shop, old school house, church, general store and
service station. The complex includes a bed and breakfast. |
