California Agriculture Museum — Attraction in Woodland

This museum holds amazing tractors that you will not see anywhere in the world, but fails to tell a story. Just a bunch of tractors arranged by manufacturer, and some basic facts like price and horsepower and year and place of manufacture. The advertisement says interactive, but the only interactive part is a half sheet of paper with a six question scavenger hunt. Really old school style museum in serious need of updating by someone who knows how. Missed opportunities are telling the story of the gold rush, how engines work, explaining how harvesting machines work (with hands-on levers for kids), more on farm life in the home, vinaculture and fruit farming exhibits... With the truck exhibit gone, there is room to spread out and make it better.

I liked this museum. It was interesting to see some of the old agriculture methods. I was surprised at the sizes of some of these vehicles. It was a pretty basic layout, just a lot of tractors in a few rows. It was very quiet when we were there, which I liked, only a few people were there.

This museum has a kids area, and scavenger hunt. So if you have kids, and are interested in checking this museum out, then I recommend it.

Very good museums with a lots of tractors and agricultural heavy equipment back in 1920s. They have a nice kid play area, scavenger games which offer stickers, exploring different areas. The most impressive thing for us to this museum is the volunteering staff who can offer free guided tour, our volunteer, named Lee was very knowledgeable and passionate about his job, who didn’t mind spending long time to talk with our kids on history of caterpillar companies and their innovation. This museum is worth a visit if you pass Woodland on I-5 north...
