Centennial Farms & Heritage Barns

Centennial Farms & Heritage Barns

April 4, 2026 | This year, we’ll be celebrating farming, barns, and agriscience.

Montgomery County Then & Now: Centennial Farms & Heritage Barns, which features the agricultural history of Montgomery County since its founding in 1822 through today. From agriculturalists like the Runyan family whose farms celebrated centennial and bicentennial milestones, to historic barns around the county, to hundreds of local families participating in FFA and 4-H, Montgomery County has a rich and dynamic connection to the farming community. The exhibit runs from April 4 – October 31, 2026.

Two talks will be held at the Museum in conjunction with the Centennial Farms & Heritage Barns exhibit.

Randy Miles, barn assessor and Indiana Barn Foundation board member will speak April 26, 2 PM. Heritage Barns of Montgomery County and West Central Indiana: Cultural History and Role of the Indiana Barn Foundation.

Thursday, September 10, at 7 pm, Tommy Kleckner, Indiana Landmarks will present his talk, Historic Barns: Icons of Agricultural and Cultural Heritage.
