100 years ago, many of the people who lived in and around St. Neots worked on farms even children worked on farms after school and in their holidays. This is still a farming area, but a lot has changed over the last 100 years. Find out more in this museum exhibition for instance:
- What jobs are done on the farm in the Summer?
- What did local farms look like 100 years ago and 50 years ago?
- What sort of tools and machinery were used on local farms?
- What were the lives of farm workers like?
- What sort of animals were kept and crops grown on local farms?
- How does food get from the farmers fields to our dinner tables?
As well as photographs and objects, there will be hands-on games and puzzles to have a go at, and a variety of activities and workshops through the Summer holidays (see Activities and Events above).
