The introduction of mechanization into Irish farms revolutionized farming for millions of people. Glenview Museum has a large collection of farm equipment which aims to depict the transition from the horse to more modern tractor power. The collection chronicles farming from the 1900s up to the 1960s.
The collection includes:
- Carts, barrows and slipes
- Seed sowers and ploughs
- Hay turners and tedders
- Pulpers and mangles
- Mowers and reapers
- Thrasher
- General hand tools
- Stationary engines and tractors
