The Heritage Centre vividly tells the story of North East farming in three related interpretative themes. This award winning exhibition concludes with an introductory video to the newly reconstructed Hareshowe Working Farm where North East farming in the 1950's is brought to life by Guides and seasonal demonstrations on 20 worked acres.

Hareshowe Working Farm Hareshowe of Ironside was a small farm nine miles from Aden and an order of magnitude smaller in scale than Aden's home farm. In 1935 the Barron family took on the small holding and it remained in their hands until the late 1980's. After inspection it was realised that Hareshowe was a typical small Buchan farm complete with most of the fixtures and equipment. Between the middle of 1990 and the spring of 1991 the farm was dismantled stone by stone, moved to Aden and reconstructed a mere 800 yards from the Heritage Centre. On the 3rd of May 1991 Miss Margaret Barron, the last owner of Hareshowe of Ironside, turned the key in her former back door to officially open the new farm.
