Discover Delhi’s tobacco farming legacy at its very own museum and heritage center. This museum was built in 1979 with the intention for its layout to resemble a tobacco pack barn. Authentic farming equipment, carefully curated displays, and an informative video screen all aid in understanding the process of tobacco agriculture.
Besides hosting agricultural exhibits, the museum also holds exhibits exploring Delhi’s rich multicultural history. Storytelling murals, traditional festive dresses, and beautiful Ukrainian Easter Eggs are some of the must-sees in this area.
Various flower gardens and a few examples of tobacco have been planted on museum property, all of which are maintained by the Delhi and District Horticultural Society. A tobacco kiln and old mill are also on-site – call ahead to see if these buildings are available for a tour.
The museum is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays.
