The exhibit, A Rural Way of Life, interprets the rich heritage of Andrew County from 1841 into the 21st century. The exhibit follows two tracks, exploring the history of farming and small towns. Learn how men, women and their children pulled together to make family farms a success. View how kitchens in farmhouses changed over time, and take home recipes for fried chicken from 1900 and Swiss steak from 1950. Enjoy a segment of a silent movie projected on the side of a brick building just like in the early 1900s. Visit a general store. Learn about the cycle of life in rural places from childhood through family life and death. Hear old-time radio programs from the 1930s.

Admission is $3 for adults; $2 for those ages 55+ and students; and free for those ages 13 and younger.
