Cecil County Farm Museum and Regional Agricultural Center is poised to open its doors to the public next month.
There was a sneak preview Wednesday for officials of Cecil County and Maryland as well as Cecil County Public Schools.
The center is located on Appleton Road in Elk Mills and shares the campus of the Cecil County School of Technology.
Jeffrey Lawson, superintendent of the schools, said he sees the center becoming part of the curriculum.
âI think itâs a great idea to bring some of our students through in a field trip setting,â Lawson said after touring the buildings, which include living displays, vintage and antique farm technology and a classroom. âHere they can experience and learn more about the local community.â
