Don’t miss this free, fun, family event on Saturday, August 9, from 11am-3pm at the Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds. FREE
The Agricultural History Project at the Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds in Watsonville is a non-profit organization. School groups and families from Santa Cruz County spend hours exploring our educational exhibits, historical archives, and the agriculture research in the Codiga Center & Museum. When you visit, be sure to stop by our charming gift shop “Country Corner!”
Located at the entrance to the Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds, discover the rich agricultural history of Santa Cruz, Monterey and Pajaro Valley. You will learn about the crops, people, artifacts and farming practices that have made the Central Coast of California what it is today.
