The local Ross Ridge School House was moved to the Southern Aroostook Agricultural Museum site. It operated as a one-room school from 1872 through 1951. The amount of work that was donated to renovate this building is quite apparent when one looks at the before and after photos.

A new 60‘x100’ barn was built recently to house several large pieces of farm equipment thanks to the generosity of the Houlton Rotary Club, Rural Development USDA, Maine Community Foundation, Naturally Potatoes, and many individuals. The barn was named the Carl and Helen Hagan Barn after the former President of the Museum and his wife.

Colby Shaw built a country store along the driveway of the Southern Aroostook Agricultural Museum during the summer of 2012.  Items found in many general stores in Aroostook County will be displayed in the store.
