The Monterey County Agricultural and Rural Life Museum (MCARLM) celebrates the past, present, and future of Salinas Valley agriculture and rural life by interpreting authentic objects, providing exceptional programs, and building community connections.
The Monterey County Agricultural & Rural Life Museum, also known as MCARLM is home to 7 unique historical experiences and museums. Our educational programs reach well beyond our community. From our 4th Grade Gold Rush Jamboree, to our school tours, student's experience history first hand. The learning continues with history of farming and dairy practices. They also learn about the water supply in the area and their role in water sustainability. We are proud to have a successful high school intern program that allows for 4 individuals to have mentor-based learning opportunities that make classroom theories concrete by placing interns in a real-life work situation with co-workers performing professional tasks.
MCARLM has been a part of my life as long as I can remember. Science camp, 4th Grade Goldrush Jamboree, School Field Trips, and now I get to serve as a MCARLM Intern. I have learned so much here and can't wait to learn even more!
