       The  Huntley Project Museum of Irrigated Agriculture tells the unique story of the homesteaders who transformed this valley from prairie desert to lush farmland.  From an early homestead, complete with barn and outbuildings, to the Museum Center’s exhibits, visitors can immerse themselves in the history of the homesteading era and life on the Project.

       See a typical small-town Main Street, walk through a restored 1908 homestead cabin, explore a 1920’s farm, and watch the harvesting of traditional crops.   The Huntley Project Museum is a fun, educational, and dynamic museum dedicated to sharing the voices of past generations through the artifacts they left behind.

       The Museum Center houses the everyday items of the homestead families as well as records and photographs of the Huntley Project Communities.  You will find quilts, dresses, dishes and cookbooks of the women; hand tools, saddles and farm machinery of the men, and the precious handmade toys of the children.  These items tell the story of the families striving to better their lives and the lives of the generations to come.
