CECIL COUNTY FARM REGISTRY
Cecil County Farm Registry

 

The Cecil County Farm Museum and Regional Agricultural Center in partnership with the Historical Society of Cecil County are compiling a registry of all farms, past and present, in Cecil County. They are looking for information on all historical farms and current working farms. This will be a unique historical record that does not currently exist. Copies of this registry will be kept at the CCFMRAC and the Historical Society.

CCFM “CAPITAL PROJECTS” FROM GRANT SUPPORTED FUNDING
The Cecil County Farm Museum (CCFM) wishes to publicly recognize and thank several key Grantor Organizations for their financial support relative to many of our site improvement projects.  Our CCFM mission is to promote, both locally and regionally, our agricultural heritage, through an educational museum.  This is a big undertaking that includes both constructing and renovating buildings and their supporting infrastructure and guidelines, for water and septic, HVAC, ADA-compliant bathrooms, security/lighting and technology.  These projects are expensive, and without the financial assistance offered through Grant Funding would be nearly impossible to complete.
