Elgin History Museum

Dairies to Prairies tells the story of Elgin’s dairy heritage. The project also explores how these former dairy farms have come under pressure from suburban development, modern day agriculture and efforts to restore natural prairies. The story is presented through a feature-length documentary film and companion traveling exhibit. The full length DVD is available in our online store. We also have a  Dairies to Prairies Facebook Page.
