    This is an impressive museum. The name implies simply agriculture, and they have that, but there's…read moreSO MUCH MORE! I had 3 kids ages 10, 8, and 6, and they weren't bored in the 90 minutes we spent there. I can't even remember everything they had but it's SO MUCH BIGGER than it looks from outside. The highlight for us was the old style western town outside that had almost everything, very realistic, and every building you could go inside and look at the old stuff. (See pics on this review). They had old banks, drug store, trains, church, and many more that were all like that would have looked in the 1800s. Very interesting. Also for the admission fee, fort of fort Benton and the other museum near it are included, and you can just go to those places next and see all the cool stuff. The AG museum was the best though. There were SO MANY MORE pictures than I could post here.

    This is an impressive museum! It is absolutely huge and is more than just agriculture. This is…read morealso the history museum for Fort Benton and has quite an impressive collection; you'd never believe it was in such a small town. This place has art, artifacts, fashion, old cars, farm machinery, information about farming and wheat, stuffed bison...it's really an eclectic collection. They open for the season Memorial Day weekend but weekdays in the off season, you can call and make an appointment for a tour. We did just that and had our own private viewing of the museum - one of the perks of a small town. It costs $10 a person and included access to the Museum of the Upper Missouri and the rebuilt Fort Benton (after which the town is named). Our tour guide was great and let us just wander around for hours while she waited patiently for us. Then she told us to get lunch and she would meet us at the next museum. Absolutely worth a visit. Plan to spend 3-4 hours here and and two more to go to the other two sites.

    Very impressive museum for such a small town. This museum has many items of general interest such…read moreas historic clothing and housewares, has documents and artifacts for those interested in local history, and has specific information on past and present residents which makes this an extra special place for those of with family history here. The museum is actually three buildings plus a lot showcasing antique farm equipment. The main building is a former church with two floors of exhibits - everything from fossils to old medical machinery. There is a one room school house that has been relocated to the museum campus and furnished. The third building has a Model T as well as preserved portions of other buildings, like a ticket window from the train depot and the back office from the general store, complete with original safe. The school librarian works at the museum and is happy to discuss the history, where items came from, and direct your attention to items that might interest you. There are also decades of year books, a century of obituaries, and many more archival items. Admission is free and donations are graciously accepted. They also have free post cards of the building and will open off season by request. There is enough here that they can't display it all at once, so check back for different exhibits.
