Young people and others who have grown up in the last several decades know little about farming and ranching. The Texas Agricultural Education and Heritage Center was founded to do something about this. The purpose of the Center is to educate the importance of agriculture in our society and to promote the heritage of farming and ranching in Texas.
The Center will have displays and events to carry our its purposes. 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 are on display. Farm and ranch equipment, old and new, are a part of the Center. Displays show how important Texas and American farming is to the production of the world's food supply.
The Center has 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 has also been developed as a tourist attraction. An area dealing with Texas History will be located in a dome-type structure tying the wings of the complex together. A map of Texas showing its regions will be in the floor of this section.
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.
