The Rural Voice, 1992-06, Page 37Elementary and high school groups study any number of topics. They might study the uses and characteristics of Ontario farm animals, the advances made by the food industry, rural social history, the changing means of transportation between 1830-1930 and how those changes affected rural life, or they might simply study agriculture, and how it shaped our province. There are seasonal programs for the school groups as well as for the general public. There are also quilt and craft festivals, heavy horse plowing matches, blacksmith competitions and farmer's markets. In 1891, the 100th anniversary of the first agricultural fair in Ontario was celebrated. Visitors to the Ontario Agricultural Museum learn what all consumers need to know, what farmers sometimes need to be reminded; in the agricultural industry, there is still much to celebrate. The Ontario Agricultural Museum is open May — September. For more information write: P.O.
