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, we 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 is an IRS 501(c)(3) not-for-profit public charity. Admissions are treated as contributions and donations. All funds received are used to underwrite the costs of educational programming.
