The Texas Agricultural Education and Heritage Center, more commonly known as The Big Red Barn was founded to educate the public, especially young people, about agriculture and our heritage. The Center has displays and events to help create the farming and ranching experience. The Center is located on a working farm in Guadalupe County on land that has been farmed since the 1850's.
The land has been donated by Wilfred and Betty Bartoskewitz who are fifth generation farmers. Thousands of people of all ages come to visit, learn, reminisce, explore and relive the heritage and culture which founded the strength of America today. Programs and displays have been developed to give visitors information and experiences in rural agricultural life as it existed and as it exists today.
