The Zagray Farm Museum is a nonprofit educational museum featuring the development of machinery and technology in the late 19th and 20th centuries.
Welcome to the official page of the Zagray Farm Museum, located on the Zagray brothers' 200 acre farm straddling the Colchester-Hebron, CT town line on Route 85. We are a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving and displaying a variety of tools and equipment used in the late 19th and early 20th century and their evolution over time.
Our working farm and museum hosts 3 shows each year, in which our members aim to demonstrate to the public how life was on the farm and jobsite in years past. On our property there are more tractors and implements than you can shake a stick at, a sandpit with a variety of antique construction equipment and trucks, 2 sawmills, a machine shop, a woodworking shop, a stationary engine display building, and all the other barns, outbuildings, and homestead of a typical New England farm.
Our shows always have a big flea market where you might find that part you've needed for years or just something cool to hang in the man cave. You can also purchase Zagray swag such as shirts, stickers, etc. at the show trailer. Occasionally we put on shows in conjunction with other organizations to feature a specific machine or product. We will publish a new event for each show to keep everyone updated.
If you wish to purchase a membership, dues are $20/year and can be sent along with the following form (address is on the form): http://www.qvea.org/resources/QVEA-Membership-Application.pdf You can also sign up at the show trailer during shows. A membership not only supports us, it allows you to become a contributing member and lend us a hand around the farm if you would like to volunteer. As a nonprofit organization with a sizable number of equipment and buildings we need all the help we can get!
