Join us this afternoon for Tuba Tunes in the Pasture. At 4:30 pm, Justin Hickmott will entertain our dairy cows on tuba as they make their way out to pasture after milking. Don’t miss this udderly spectacular serenade! ow.ly/TYjO50YZtHL

It might just be the best moment of the season, when the dairy cows head out after afternoon milking for their first evening trip to pasture. 🐄 Some take their time, others are in a hurry. Either way, it’s a sign of spring and a sight we never get tired of.

Happy Victoria Day weekend! The museum is open from 9 - 5 all weekend long, plenty of time to wander, explore, and make a day of it! We hope you will stop by to enjoy demonstrations, visit the exhibitions and see the animals! ow.ly/9Z0u50YXCsN
