The East Frisian Agricultural Museum is located in the East Frisian village of Campen , in the municipality of Krummhörn . It is a member of the Museum Association of East Frisia . The museum , to which a museum shop is attached, is housed in a total of four buildings.

history

The Agricultural Museum was created from a research project of the Volkswagen Foundation in collaboration with the East Frisian Landscape from 1979 to 1984 under the name “Work and tools of farmers and rural craftsmen 1850-1950”. Due to the public response, the voluntary working group "Agricultural Technical Collection" was founded in 1981, which collected and restored agricultural equipment. In total, around 500 large and small devices came together. In order to make this collection accessible to the public, the East Frisian Agricultural Museum Campen OLMC was founded, which was permanently established between 1986 and 1991. In the meantime, an old-timer tractor association has settled in the museum's buildings (Museumsfrünnen e.V.)

Classic car and tractor meetings have been held regularly at the OLMC since 2007. Other regular events are the pleasure market, the garden days and days of action.

exhibition

The four museum buildings also include two Gulf houses on the edge of Campen, built in the late 19th and early 20th centuries . They are supplemented by a newly built shed (field barn). Next to these three buildings, an old farm workers house was rebuilt, in which historical costumes are exhibited.
