THE BARN MUSEUM

Built by members of the Society in 2005 and then expanded in 2017, the Barn Museum houses artifacts reflecting Elma's agricultural and business history.  Elma was and still is a farming community, and the Barn Museum honors that agricultural history with its mix of artifacts.

Here's a small sample of what the Barn Museum offers: a rare Elma-made carriage from the Jerge Blacksmith Shop; poultry-raising equipment (such as a rare wooden incubator) made by Buffalo-base Cyphers Incubator Company (which had a 50-acre Research Farm on Bowen Road in Elma Center); old Post Office equipment; a Wiard one-horse plow made in Batavia; unique hand tools of every sort; an 1880-era Fire Bell from Springbrook Fire Department; a high-wheeled bicycle; haying machinery & tools; and so much more.
