Didn’t find a museum and no tour was offered.
We went to the stokes farm today after reading the reviews here and there was no one there. After 5 minutes of roaming around we found the manager’s room which is non descript. We asked him about the tour and the museum, and he said there is nothing like that. There is a gate beyond which the Apple orchards start, so we went there and could look at the plantation, but we didn’t cross the gate. So basically for us there was nothing, no museum, no tour. We went especially from Narkanda so we feel like we wasted one hour, but if you’re staying in Thanedhar, you may check it out and see if you’re luckier than us.

Must must visit in Aug-Sept
For budget travelers Take an overnight bus from Delhi to Narkanda. Two buses (8am or 11am) from Narkanda takes you to Thanedhar (16km from narkanda). You can also ask for lift (locals are more than happy to give one). Thanedhar is a must visit place in the month of Aug-Sept to see the best of Thanedhar. Thanedhar is at its best when the season is on for apples. Trees full of different varieties of apples are nothing less than a treat to watch. As soon as one gets down at this quaint little bus stop at Thanedhar, the adjoining place belongs to Stokes apple sorting and packing area. You can easily enter the place and look at the apple cleaning, sorting and packing machines. You can meet the care taker there and ask for the the factory visit as well. If you are very much interested in history, then better to meet Mr. Vijay Stokes provided he is in India (current owner of Stokes farm and stays in US). He is 80yrs old and a gem of a person. Strict with great sense of humor. You can take an appointment from the factory care taker and meet him on given time at his personal residence. He will take you around his age old residence, temple, school, apple plantation etc with great enthusiasm. He also will pluck some fruits from the trees for tasting. Be prepared for a long conversation with metaphors and anecdotes along with the history of the place. Note: 1) Meet Mr. Vijay Stokes only if you are too much into history and have ample time to listen to him. He is a very busy person and it wont be possible for him to spare time for every traveler. 2) Apple farm is full of different varieties of apples. Dark burgandy to red to crimson to green. But don't try to pluck fruits on your own.
