The building of the early twentieth century in which it is located, the museum has hosted in the past, the Agricultural Cooperative ( The Ceres), founded in 1910 by Nicholas Knight Di Gregorio and some laborers to ensure farmers parcels of land with contracts more equitable and to learn and apply innovative farming techniques. Not surprisingly, then, there has been furnished with the Museum of the Grain, a sign of the importance of the cooperative in the development of local agriculture. The museum aims to reconstruct the customs, usages, and the work of the peasant community of Raddusa offering visitors a reconstruction of ancient environments, a representative overview of the tools used by the farmers and old local customs, also available through an audio path -visual and explanatory panels. Specifically, in the right wing of the museum, has been rebuilt an old farmhouse with a bedroom of the '30s, a steam cooking, a stone oven and a pantry, the latter used to preserve wooden barrels, flasks and carboys. The left wing hosts, however, old tools and farm machinery. By Christmas 2004, the museum is set up annually the Nativity.
