Education
Central Mississippi’s Educational Destination
Located in the heart of Jackson, MS, the Mississippi Agriculture & Forestry Museum spans 40 acres of hands-on fun and educational exploration for the whole family. Step back in time as you walk through Small Town Mississippi, a collection of authentic historic buildings relocated from across the state. Visit the Doctor’s Herb Garden, browse the Museum Learning Center, and then treat yourself to old-fashioned candy or a soda from the General Store. Kids will love meeting farm animals up close at the Children’s Barnyard!
Educating visitors is our passion. Our team brings the museum to life through interactive weekly programming such as Farm Facts with the Farm Manager, Gallery Chats with our Director of Collections, and many other interpretive programs across the grounds. Don’t miss special programs like First Saturday domestic arts, Folk Art Friday traditional trade program, and Storytime with Uncle Story – a favorite with younger visitors.
