There are a number of traditional indigenous buildings, including a thatched "mud and stud" cottage, moved from the nearby village of Withern, the original 18th-century farmhouse, and a 19th-century stable block and cowshed. The museum holds exhibitions of 19th- and 20th-century farm implements and machinery, and displays about traditional breeds such as the Red Poll cattle, and the Longwool Sheep, although there are no animals on site.[2]
In 2009 the farm won the People's Choice Award at the Lincolnshire Renaissance Heritage Awards.[3]
Following cuts by Lincolnshire County Council, and a fire of the mud and stud cottage, it has been run by a charity and has received help from volunteers.[4]
