Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Another National Historic Landmark in Lexington, the Cyrus McCormick Farm was the home and workshop of inventor Cyrus McCormick. McCormick, credited with creating the mechanical reaper, owned 532 acres of land. Today, the museum, which consists of eight remaining buildings, stands on five of those acres. In 1954, the home was donated by the McCormick family to Virginia Polytechnical Institute for an agricultural landmark. For free, guests can visit the farm and take in the history of the farm and McCormick’s daily life by looking at the blacksmith shop, grist mill, smokehouse, schoolroom, slave and housekeepers’ quarters, carriage house, and of course, the main manor.
