Had a nice time at the museum with the kids. Early March is a bit cool and the garden was not at its full potential, but it'll be great in a month or so. We hope that the museum is able to bring back the farm animal experience soon. So many kids don't get that experience unless it's through an organization like the Ag Museum and it's important for them to have that. We're still sad about the Museum's loss due to the fire, but hopeful that the farm animals will be back in the future. The Print shop is a fun learning experience for kids and they love shopping at the General Store. The Aviation exhibit is very cool and this museum is kept up well. The Masonic Lodge is interesting to me because many of the men in my family are Masons.

Our Women's Ministry group rented a bldg for our seminar and luncheon. The place was very nice and clean. We had adequate space for vendors and attendee tables. Everything went smoothly. My only issue was the parking. It seems a walk - a -thon was going on, and even though we paid for a facility use, we had to fend for parking. Carrying set up items from across the bridge , back and forth, was a bit far for some of us senior women. I wish they would have allotted spaces close to bldg we rented for our use only. Other than that ....it was okay. We enjoyed our time, cleaned up after we finished, and packed up and made our trek back across the bridge.

Spent 2 hours here during our family road trip. LOTS of information inside the main building; couldn't read it all in one stop! Large collection of tools & info on advancements in Agricultural technology. They had posted a QR code to access a scavenger hunt in the model train displays that our 11-year-old enjoyed tremendously. Live farm animals in the children's barn. The mock town was cool. You can walk through the cotton gin barn and a large cabin, but most buildings are viewed through a door or window. The General Store is their gift shop, and most prices were reasonable. Definitely worth the stop.

If you want a genuine picture of how life was before and at the turn of the century, THIS place will supply it. It's setup as a small town, with various businesses that would have been there around 1880+... It also does a nice job showing how the gin mill AND subsequent harvesting machine changed the landscape forever. It shows how better roads led to increasing business, and how trains and autos doomed horsedrawn vehicles. Very nice to see an accurate portrayal of how things used to be. Well laid out. πππ

When I come to Jackson this is one of my favorite outdoor places to visit. Great museum of Ms agriculture, many old period buildings man by of which have been moved and restored from older farms. There are animals for the kids to see, a huge model train exhibit, an old cotton gin, general store and much more. In the fall there are periods re enacts, blacksmiths, weavers and spinners, cane syrup being made from sugar cane... this is a must see.

There are a lot of nice things about this museum. There are the nice model train tracks. There are the plethora of equipment from vehicles to simple tools, many with nice details. Dates would be a nice bonus with some of the life sized dioramas. Outside there is a functioning general store. There are many recreated buildings from mule sheds to barns and mills. Overall for the admission fee it is well worth the price for the whole family.
