Reviews of Mississippi Agriculture & Forestry Museum (Tourist Attraction)

Kerry Steed

If you're interested in Blacksmithing the Mississippi Forge Council meets here on the 3rd Saturday of most months. Come by and get a close up look at how it's done.

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

Rita Carey

Evan Goff

Fun and family-friendly Place always lots of things to do here can walk around and Explorer frequent events very cool

Dasha Peipon

Lots of learning opportunities for kids and adults.

Zach Prichard

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!

Lynn Niewohner

Really informative and the staff are knowledge and helpful.

Bram Lugh

Amazing. But lots of walking, not many cool spaces. Great during the cooker months.

Christine Williams

I loved the scenery and bridge!!

Jacguelyne Whitsett

Educational and Fun

Jay Hays

Lots of stuff that's old, from crop dusters to sawmills. Seems like the staff wasn't really up to answering questions for a group of only five patrons...maybe if we'd been surrounded by 50 jostling unruly third graders the staff would've 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.

Doris K. Powe

Everyone needs a little homestyle cooking.

Sally Barlow

Pickle festival was well organized

Jake Allgeier

Fun little museum, especially when you have the place to yourself and can explore freely. Would gladly return

Shira Wade

Behave always loved this place, but something is different, just not the same

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.

sarah gregory

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.

Greg Childress

really good museum, staff very welcoming and knowledgeable. price was very affordable.

Gen La Coss

We love the Ag museum. Always fun. The General Store is a must stop every trip. Ole Town is so cool too. The train and airplane exhibits are also some of our favorites.

Donald Leonard

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.

Gabriele Garner

The museum is very educational and they have fun events throughout the year, our family goes 2-3 times yearly. We love it!

Selfless army of volunteers patiently creating a learning environment that captures the attention of every age and stage.

Krys Kozlowski

Of all the things you can see in the area, no doubt your three year old will love the train sets at this location the best. Great outdoor installation with a running vintage cotton gin and a neat store. Uncle story is a really nice idea to get little ones interested in reading

Power of the Cross

Very nice place for family. If you like model trains, they have huge working displays in museum

Charles Humphrey

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. There's nothing flashy here and it was low key. I would say your typical teenager wouldn't necessarily enjoy themselves here......unless they have an affinity for tractors and old buildings.

Tom Russell

It's fast. The waitresses are sweet. The food is meh. The cooks and servers are friendly. It ain't gourmet. It ain't even piccadilly. But it can be fun.

simon lang

I was small and kinda boring

Ronnie Boyd

Good buffet. Good price.

Doug Wilson

I love the MS Ag and Forestry Museum Restaurant...great meat and 2

Pedro Zuniga

More than I expected. Recommend.

Rod's Racers

Great plate lunches. I've known the owner for several years. Great staff!

C. Bullard

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.

Juanita Johnson

Great place to take the family.

Charles Parker

Awesome place, had a good visit

Bonita Massey

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.

Andrew LaPointe

Awesome place!

Angela Brabham

Great staff! We enjoyed our visit.

Cynthia Rouser

Best Wedding and Events spot ever

Jeff Gordy

Allways good country comfort food .

Tony Garcia

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!

Samuel Jennings

Great place to explore

Jakin Berns

Wonderful place. It is very well ran too.

Warner Arthur

Good museum but out building sort of sad..

Kathy Bonnie

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.

Jossie Brown

Great place for all occasions

Mitch Temple

Nice place for the kids to just run around, with a lot of good Mississippi history to boot.

yolanda horne

Great place for the whole family!

Chuck Arnold

They have a country store, blacksmith stable, a petting zoo. They also have a lot of old buildings to look at like a dentist office, a veterinary, eye doctor. there is a train to ride to see all the sites. There also the museum and a aircraft museum. It is next door to The Ms Sports Hall of Fame.

Kristin Warnock

Went with a field trip and had a blast

H T

Wonderful museum with the history of modern agriculture with lots of beautiful artifacts.

Sharon

Great fun.

Ellen Sabin

Had a hour to kill while my husband ran an errand. We passed this place on the highway and it looked like a wonderful outdoor area to walk with my dog. The place was empty when he dropped me off until I was greeted by a young man who introduced himself as the general manager and informed me that no dogs are allowed on the property. I explained that I had not seen a single sign posted about this policy. His response was we are working on that. How about working on making your outdoor areas more updated to accommodate pets and allowing well behaved dogs on a leash? I have a hunch you could improve attendance.

Terry Fielding

Excellent, clean, great staff, wonderful breakfast, recommend

Thomas Carey

Great place to spend quality time the kids.

Hlyfav W

Bonita Colvin

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!

Lizabeth Thrasher

A little outdated and simple but friendly staff & cool rustic bathrooms.

Get Schwifty

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!

Jayne Jackson

Walk through the history of Mississippi's agricultural industry! This is a great low-key adventure in the heart of Jackson. Get old school drinks & candies at the General Store.

Bill Smith

Great family place, something for everyone. See how things were done in years past. Take a walk in old town and stop at the store and have a cool drink. This is a wonderful place for the kids.

crystal miles

I love going here. It lets you see all the amazing things of our history.

Robert Snyder

A fabulous compendium that brings rural life from the long-distant to life. A must see.

Yolanda Desire

Great field trip!

Marc Allen

Great place for groups and families. Easy to get to. Lots of parking.

GITGx _

Had our manager meeting there, awesome event...

Tammy Harden

It's gorgeous here. We had an amazing time at my niece's graduation there.

Michael J Del Toro

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.

audrey haskin

This place was great!!! But they do need to incorporate more Blacks into their exhibits. To look at this you would think that Black ppl didn't hit the planet until the 70s

Loni Sturtevant

So many cool and interesting things to see and learn

Michael Magruder Jr

Good place to throw a wedding and it has a lot of space for whatever u want

Diane Johnson

Interesting stop. Not too expensive. Next to a sports museum. Seems like there's a lot of community stuff happening there. Lots of model train stuff inside.

Matt Warkentin

So much fun and history here. Loved the model trains, airplanes, nature trail, historic buildings, and so much more!

Alan Reeves

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

Thomas Walker

Nice asset for the state of Mississippi.Low use so easy to get through exhibits.

Larry Johnson

. Beautiful place with historical pic

Matthew Sullivan

Nice little hidden food spot here. Buffet style home cooking.

Jacqueline Henderson

Spacious. Great time. JH.

Phyllis Wood

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.

Tanya Norwood

On a field trip here now with my 5th graders great place to be

W.T. Hopkins

Love this place. It’s fun for the whole family.

DOLORES SALLIE

Need more stuff for $8.00

Roshonda J.

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 wouldn't go to an event here if it was the last place. If it was like that then, it's like that today.... forget this place. Whites only.

Joe H. Poe Jr

It's where I were born

Clayton Nickell

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.

T Carp

Had so much fun at the Pickle Fest! Was a lil hot but found a HUGE Smith county Watermelon for $10 ! #LoveWatermelonintheSummer

Robin Rogers

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!

Margaret Goodson

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.

b dunn

This is an outstanding museum. Loved the big cotton gin.

Josh Forbes

Family liked the museum. Had alot to do. Kinda was surprised at all of the stuff.

Brynda Bridges

Wonderful place to visit!!!

Tim Tucker

A great opportunity to touch a piece of MS history and get a snapshot of rural Americana

Ron Pytlik

Very interested

Angie Massingill

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.

Shequita Townsend

This is a museum dedicated to Mississippi's first and oldest traditions agriculture forestry and small town living. Though it may sound boring they honestly have managed to bring a host of interesting exhibits together. Outdoors they have a nature trail and a whole small town from backward in time that they moved to the museum with a long list that have been turned into realistic open attractions such as a general store which is fully stocked and still carries some items in their old packaging as they were back in the day a church a blacksmiths workstation and many other things. They used to have a petting zoo if I recall correctly showing off some of the animal helpers but im not sure if they still do. Inside they have many relics from the bygone age of agriculture such as tractors shacks fully lit planes a small town model complete with working train set and many other things. Right nearby also on pretty much on the same lot is the Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame. So if you're in town visiting you can catch two museums. And not to far away have your choice of three different shopping malls and multiple eating places. All in all a great trip.

Mellisa Hammond

Always good food and great service

Poppy

Great place for kids

Brandon Smith

Hey everyone. Yesterday we the TylerTown, Ms group had a great time at the museum, I had a great learning experience. I personally think that all schools with an Ag and Natural resources class, or FFA team need to visit the Mississippi Agriculture & Forestry Museum. Thank ya'll for the great learning experience, all who worked yesterday May 10, 2018.

Lori Crymes

Definately one of my favorite places I visited lately.

Melanie Whittigton

Enjoyed going thru the museum
