Today, this barn holds an impressive collection of antique farm and ranch equipment, including a chuck wagon, a shingle horse, and a treadmill for small livestock. The Bybee House Museum and Agricultural Museum are open every Saturday and Sunday beginning the first week in June through Labor Day. Hours are from 12pm to 5pm. Guided tours of the Bybee House Museum are given on the half-hour by professional historic site interpreters. During the summer months, the Oregon Historical Society hosts a series of family-oriented programs under the title A Day in the Country Heritage Series.
All programs are free.
Some of the programs require reservations, which can be made upon arriving at the park.
