Farm

It was time to switch out my header image for the season of spring, though it hasn't been feeling quite spring-like. This one was taken last year at the Canadian Museum of History in Gatineau during the Tulip Festival. 

The Canada Agriculture And Food Museum is arranged in and around a series of barns, barnyards, and associated buildings in the heart of the Experimental Farm. The largest of the barns is the Dairy Barn. A herd of dairy cattle are housed inside.

A look across the street.

Another of the buildings on site, outside the museum perimeter.

These views take in the portions of the farm given over to pastures and growing crops.

Another of the barns, called the Meadowview Barn. I recall this one being part of the exhibit tour the last time I was here, although not being a big part of it. It seems to be primarily focused on event use or summer day camps.

This brick building is part of the tour- the Learning Centre. Its architecture reminds me of a market building.

Seen at a distance, the Small Animals Barn.

A short walk on, views of the Learning Centre and the Dairy Barn beyond.

Over to the south, some of the utilitarian buildings of the Farm.

The last time I came, I remember an entrance near the Dairy Barn. This time I had to find my way around to the actual entrance, not far from the parking lot. The Dairy Barn and Small Animals Barn are seen here.
