The Agricultural History Project is a Non-profit organization. School groups and families from around the Central Coast come explore our ag exhibits, restored tractors, old-time farm implements, plants like hops and grains, our historical archives, and our ag history museum. We also have a charming gift shop, the Country Corner.
We are located at the entrance to Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds in the outskirts of Watsonville, California. As you discover the rich agricultural history of the Central Coast, you will learn about the crops, people, artifacts and farming practices that have made the Central Coast of California what it is today.
