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.
Amazing place to visit. A historic town and museum. They always have fun events for the family!
Great place for kids and adults of all ages... Loved the old tractor exhibit...wonderful place to enjoy the the outdoors
This place in a absolute jewel, the staff is extremely knowledgeable and go out of their way to make a visit worth while. If you don’t know MS history check it out.
Always pleasant. Live exhibits, historical agricultural equipment and good country fun.
This place is pretty cool, I think it’s a shift from most standard museums. It seems a little run down, like in the cotton mill and such but it’s still pretty cool. I guess I just liked the atmosphere here. We went on a really nice day, no rain and it wasn’t very hot, it was kinda chilly. It’s a lot of walking so bring some tennis shoes!
Such a great fun family day and different! Seriously a great family fun place and a great learning experience
We had a great day exploring! It was a good way to get the family out of the house!
The Ag museum is one of my familys favorite adventures. This is a special place.
Sure, I’m an advocate of education. But that’s not the reason for the 5 stars. These people are passionate and this establishment is a pillar of a community that seriously lacks similar pillars.
The best part was the train ride...
Very good price for what you get.
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 itll 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 dont get that experience unless its through an organization like the Ag Museum and its important for them to have that. Were still sad about the Museums 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.
Had so much fun at the Pickle Fest! Was a lil hot but found a HUGE Smith county Watermelon for $10 ! #LoveWatermelonintheSummer
Great place to wander around and see old tractors, buildings, and more. The Fitzgerald collection (medium sized building on the right) was full of arrow heads and great antiques. One of the best buildings in the whole complex.They had a cotton gin that is said to be the oldest operating cotton gin in the country. Plus, they have a general store. Drinks were expensive but the guy at the counter was really nice and made sure to tell us about some of the interesting buildings that others typically miss.Overall a great place to visit
We went for the pumpkin patch but stayed for the scenic little village...
So much fun and history here. Loved the model trains, airplanes, nature trail, historic buildings, and so much more!
A fabulous compendium that brings rural life from the long-distant to life. A must see.
Awesome place
Fantastic for kids. Passionate curators. Lots of hands on activities. Fun family events.
I like going here for a quick affordable lunch plate. They usually have pretty good veggies. Im a vegetarian so I cant tell you about the meats but I like their veggies.
Chicken Liver Thursdays are the best EVER.
My buddy had his wedding reception here. This place is awesome it comes with a real full kitchen. Perfect place. Outstanding
Very nice. Clean. Very nice people working here.
Truly one of the most fascinating, charming, intriguing places to visit in the Jackson Mississippi metro area. Lots of early-agricultural historical exhibits/presentations to browse, tranquil and lush spots for family members or romantic couples to have a lazy picnic, even an amazing place to host weddings and other special gatherings. And its also a wonderfully rustic location to do photoshoots for family portraits and such, given some of the quaint scenery/backrounds of saloon-styled shacks, pioneer-period styled cabins, rose/flower gardens, and even a Victorian-era picturesque little church. Overall, this place exudes the feel/charm of something like a stage set taken out of Little House on the Prairie.
My children and I really enjoyed it. It hasnt changed too much since I first seen it as a little girl.
We absolutely love it here and gave loved it for many years!
I love going here. It lets you see all the amazing things of our history.
A pleasant place with a nice display of agricultural tools. Outside there is a recreated village with structures from the 19th and early 20th centuries. There are several large model train exhibits that are of interest.
Always a delightful experience. Love the Ag Museum. I am nearly 40 and my brother and I will end up racing or doing very childish things while here... Have many fun memories from our childhood here
Very educational and fun to visit. There is so much for children and adults to learn about Mississippis history. Would gladly come again.
Theres an Auditorium for meetings, outside is large area to visit and see Carnivals, Kraft Shows, Food Shows ect. On the Property theres Restaurant with a Lunch Buffet, a General Store & Museum. This is a Very Good place to take Children on a day trip.
Lots of cool stuff for kids to check out. Like going back 100 years
Continual updates, cool things to see no matter your age & energy level
Dropped off a package.
Lots of fun!
Very nice place
Very interesting place. If you like history and looking at history this is the place.
A very cool place to visit. If you are into old tools and history, this is the spot. They also have a really cool model train area.
Love this place.Wonderful museum with the history of modern agriculture with lots of beautiful artifacts.Always interesting events to attend!
We went for the first ever pickle festival in Mississippi. This was a joke. Only one place to get a pickle. Or you could buy a single pickle that was store bought. Not pickles that had been canned homemade! Unbelievable! So disappointed! It was a waste of time and money!
Its gorgeous here. We had an amazing time at my nieces graduation there.
My husband had a job out there, so I joined him for the day!
This is a wonderful place to take the family. We really enjoy it every time we go. It seems like their is something new to see everytime we go.
Love the blacksmither at work of art.
There was nothing to do for the children. They ride on the hayride and got milk and cookie. That was the best part of the trip.
I think its great i hope we come back soon
Luv this place. A great educational field trip for EVERYONE
Fun for all. Especially little kids
Beautiful space withholding tons of MS historical agricultural artifacts and preserved buildings. The staff are doing an excellent job taking care of this place. I will be back and will recommend to others.
When I was in the 2nd grade, I attended Davis Magnet. One of the first sets of blacks to go to the school. We wanted to go to the AG Museum. We got in the bus to go. They turned us around and made us look stupid. I wouldnt go to an event here if it was the last place. If it was like that then, its like that today.... forget this place. Whites only.
The staff were great! The exhibits were very educational, but fun.
Lots of stuff thats old, from crop dusters to sawmills. Seems like the staff wasnt really up to answering questions for a group of only five patrons...maybe if wed been surrounded by 50 jostling unruly third graders the staff wouldve been happier to see us. Still, there wete some fairly well-curated areas. I imagine the trip is better in spring than it would be in the middle of summer.
Very interesting and informative. A good place for the family
A lot of really interesting stuff but no people to explain or show. Just signs.Would have been nice to have black smiths blacksmithing or printers printing etc.
Lots of fun Ag stuff to learn about and the model train setup us amazing. Kids have a blast here ... Especially at the older outdoor replica/model town and general store.Staff is super friendly and accommodating. Admission is perfectly reasonable as well. A great inclusion in the Museum District!
Wonderful museum with the history of modern agriculture with lots of beautiful artifacts.
Excellent place for family to enjoy different phases of Mississippi history in the past.Excellent staff very kind and helpful!Always interesting events to attend!
Great place. My kids love to visit.
Walk through the history of Mississippis agricultural industry! This is a great low-key adventure in the heart of Jackson. Get old school drinks & candies at the General Store.
I was here for a beekeeping class. The class was wonderful. We were able to walk through the small town from the past going to the beehives. Be ready for a lot of walking. There are places to sit and take a break every where. The old car museum was excellent. A nice side trip to break the monotony of a long car ride.
My son loved the model train exhibit! It was difficult to pull n away from it to read about the history there. Seeing some of the restored homes and such outside was very interesting as well.
Neat museum with lots of variety to see, inside and outside.
Great people and a wonderful place for families that preserves a time and way if life when it was less hectic. When we took time for each other.
My son enjoyed himself. His class went for a field trip.
Very cool place! Its definitely worth the time and money! Inexpensive and lots to see!
Amazing place to visit..will go again..love seeing all the antiques...
Excellent experience! The staff was so knowledgeable of specific details about the exibits which made our visit extra special. Looking forward to a future visit in the fall!
A bit old and stuffy inside but it was cool, had a few train sets and a bunch of crop dusting airplanes.
I love taking our kids here!
Down home atmosphere with good country cooking.
It is an awesome pleace to visit for a museum. Everybody needs to visit. You would really enjoy it. They have *1*an old jail, *2*a post office, *3*a General Store that will make you a kidal again, *4*a Masonic Lodge(that is also available to rent)*5*a neat chapel that you can also get married in. Just to name a few of the things. It is on Lakeland Drive in Jackson MS right off of I-55 North.
So many cool and interesting things to see and learn
Amazing. But lots of walking, not many cool spaces. Great during the cooker months.
Wonderful place. It is very well ran too.
We did not plan enough time here. We will have to back sometime
All and all we had a fun day. Myself, wife and our four children enjoyed strolling around and looking at all the old buildings. There were some interesting highlights and the kids enjoyed themselves. Theres nothing flashy here and it was low key. I would say your typical teenager wouldnt necessarily enjoy themselves here......unless they have an affinity for tractors and old buildings.
We go EVERY year for the pumpkin patch. The children enjoy it such a great time!
This is a great place for a family day!
Wonderful place
A little outdated and simple but friendly staff & cool rustic bathrooms.
Went there for the Easter egg hunt. There were lots of things to do for the kids after the Easter egg hunt they had face painting, a petting zoo, wagon ride. Has a great time.
Great history, has a few farm animals.
Really informative and the staff are knowledge and helpful.
Beautiful full of antiques and history.
Everyone needs a little homestyle cooking.
Fun and entertaining place to visit. Excellent food too. Great place to take children.
Like the model trainsThe museum has a lot pf great things from Agriculture
This museum is worth a visit, especially if your with the kids! It has a very interesting intro and explanation of the tools, lifestyles, evolutions of the American Ag & Forestry industry that existed in Mississippi and throughout the south. It has a large... very large, functioning model train collection that has been built to reflect the era of the booming agricultural and forestry industry. That alone will have you and your kids intrigued following the whole model throughout the interior of the main museum building.Interestingly enough the museum has built a full size village next to the museum that one can walk through and actually interact with some of the town buildings such as the general store that you can actually walk into and buy items that reflect pieces of that era!
Love this place. It’s fun for the whole family.
I loved the 5 dollar price first of all, next I loved the mini train set up that ran through the entire middle of the room. All the exhibits were historically informative and I even found a drag saw that someone donated from my hometown in MS! The old tools, tractors, and cars were neat to see. Plus the 1920s small town MS that they built up is super cool to walk through. Totally worth the hour or two it takes to walk through all of it.
Food was good service was fast the only problem was not enough tables for large parties
