Peek into the past at the upcoming Harvest Festival! The annual fest is filled with demonstrations on an array of old-fashioned tasks. There are also activities, like shopping and rides, to keep guests entertained. The setting only adds to the fun – it all takes place at Small Town Mississippi, a life-size replica of a town from the 1920s. It's truly the next best thing to going back in time.
During the Harvest Festival, Small Town Mississippi at Jackson’s Ag and Forestry Museum comes to life with historic demonstrations.
An annual tradition, it’s held every November. This year’s fest is November 9th – 13th, beginning at 9 a.m. daily.
Live demonstrations are a hallmark of the fest – and are sure to pique the interest of all ages.
Over the course of the fest, you can watch demonstrations on the operation of a saw mill, cane mill, print shop, blacksmith shop, and the nation’s oldest cotton gin!
In addition to demonstrations, festival-goers can enjoy wagon, train, and carousel rides for just $1 per ride.
Small Town Mississippi’s old-fashioned General Store will also be open during the fest. Stop in and stock up on snacks, souvenirs, and more.
Remember, the 2021 Harvest Festival will take place daily, from 9 a.m. – 2 p.m., November 9th – 13th. For more information, call the Ag and Forestry Museum at (601) 432-4500. You can also email the museum at [email protected] or visit the museum’s website.
