A Delaware Farm Day

Catering

Although the Delaware Agricultural Museum and Village does not offer catering for groups or events, meetings guests can hire a caterer, cook on-site or bring in their own food to cater events. Guests can use the small kitchen for an extra fee of $50 to gain access to the refrigerator, the freezer, the sink, the microwave and the stovetop, or they can bring their own barbecue grills or cook camping style in fire pits along the property. Alcohol is not provided, but it is available with a permit from the local Alcohol and Beverage Commission.

Good to Know

The museum provides groups with standard six-foot rectangular banquet tables for seating, eight-foot tables for food and/or beverages, or three food-and-beverage bars that range from 11 to 17 feet. Table covers are required for all tables, including the bar, and guests will need to bring their own chairs unless they want to use the museum’s 120 brown metal folding chairs. Though candles are permitted, they must be secured in candleholders, and balloons must be secured before entering the building. The museum does not rent past 10 p.m. and offers 134 parking spaces in the main lot, 25 on the tarmac, and another 75 along the fence. Wi-Fi is not available.

After Events

If the event is during business hours, groups can tour the museum free of charge. Otherwise, they will need to pay a small fee to allow guests access to the entire museum after hours. The museum offers something for all age groups, but younger visitors enjoy the “mock” milkable cow, the year-round chickens that they can feed and, in the late spring, summer and early fall, a miniature pot-belly pig that kids can pet and feed fruits and veggies. Kids will also enjoy playing in the Touch of History room, playing horseshoes and pushing a plow through dirt.
