Washington County Agricultural Education Center and Rural Heritage Museum showcases the automotive, manufacturing, and agricultural heritage of the Hagerstown region in a three-building museum complex in Boonsboro. The charming museum details the history of the region's rural economy in exhibits displayed across three 7,200-square-foot museum buildings. Exhibits range from a recreated authentic country store and a replica Victorian-era farmhouse to displays of preserved farm and transportation equipment from the region's agricultural and railroading past. Outside on the museum's campus, a Rural Heritage Village showcases authentic period-appropriate living history buildings, including two log homes and a windmill. Special events on the museum's campus throughout the year showcase demonstrations of rural practices like bread-baking.
