Animal Adventures

MSU Farms

MSU is the home to several teaching and research farms.   The public is welcome to take self guided tours of the facility by following the signs posted on each building the only exception is the Swine farm.  I suggest calling ahead to see if something special is going on or if there is a chance for a one-on-one with the animals.
