History
While serving as Florida's Commissioner of Agriculture, Doyle Conner realized that the stories of the men and women of Florida agriculture were rapidly being lost in the face of development and loss of rural working lands.
The museum was established in 1983 by a group of concerned agriculturalists and historians at the request of Commissioner Conner to help preserve this important part of Florida's heritage. Originally located in Tallahassee, the museum was part of the Division of Agriculture and Consumer Services.
In 1992, it was designated the museum of agriculture and rural history of the State of Florida under Florida Statute. In 1997, the Florida Agricultural Museum moved to its new home on 460 acres in Flagler County.
The museum is a private non-profit (501.C3) corporation led by a board of trustees, public spirited volunteers from across the state who share a common interest in Florida agriculture.
