PASTO Agricultural Museum

The Pasto Agricultural Museum connects the science and history of our agricultural past with the present day for almost 10,000 visitors per year.

Exhibits, programs, demonstrations and tours provide an understanding of our local and regional history, where our food comes from, and the inventions and technology that have made food production on a large scale possible.
