The Farmers’ Museum proudly announces the launch of Harvest of History, an 
interactive website and fourth-grade curriculum dedicated to agriculture 
and rural life in New York State. The website 
<http://www.harvestofhistory.org/> features a printable version of the 
interdisciplinary curriculum, an interactive virtual tour of The Farmers’ 
Museum, a database of primary sources including museum objects and 
documents, and links to relevant resources.
 
Few schoolchildren today understand how food travels from farm to table or 
the importance of agriculture in the history of New York State. Harvest of 
History addresses these concerns by providing a technology-driven 
experience for people to learn about agriculture and rural life in a fun 
and exciting way. The website will help students understand their rural 
roots, while meeting state and national education standards for social 
studies and science. 
 
The Farmers' Museum developed the Harvest of History curriculum in 
collaboration with the National Gardening Association. Harvest of History 
has been made possible in part by a grant from the National Endowment for 
the Humanities, a federal agency.
