About Farmamerica

The Minnesota Agricultural Interpretive Center (Farmamerica) was established by the Minnesota legislature in 1978 to preserve, celebrate, and promote the state’s rich connection to agriculture. We started with a few acres, donated by Roy & Marcie Lukken and with the help of the local community, legislators and contributors built the center into a 360-acre site which includes a visitor center, a pond and prairie, many external historical buildings, plus a collection of antique farm equipment.

Farmamerica exists to connect people with the evolution of agriculture by being Minnesota’s center for agricultural interpretation.

We want people to better understand how agriculture shaped Minnesota’s past and how it continues to provide our communities with food, fiber, and renewable fuels in a more sustainable manner than ever before.
