Experience a typical day in a rural farm community of 19th-century Georgia at Tifton’s, Agrirama.

If you want to give your child (or yourself) a unique experience in Georgia's rich rural heritage, plan a trip to Tifton and the Agrirama, Georgia’s Museum of Agriculture and Historic Village.

The 95-acre complex consists of a traditional farm community of the 1870s, a more progressive farmstead of the 1890s, a rural town, an industrial sites complex, a national peanut complex, and the Museum of Agriculture Center.

Costumed interpreters perform the daily activities of life at the more than 35 restored and preserved structures that have been relocated to the site. You’ll see people working in the fields, the sawmill, the turpentine still, the blacksmith’s shop and the gristmill. On Main Street, you can visit the drug store, the print shop and the train depot. A 1.3-mile railroad system circles the site. (Due to state budget cuts, the steam locomotive only runs during special events). You can walk through farmsteads of different eras as well as a mid-1890s one-room schoolhouse.

These are just a few of the many, many experiences you can have at the Agrirama. There’s easy access to the Agrirama—it lies right along the west side of I-75 just north of the Tifton downtown exit. You’ll find more information about the Agrirama here at Brown’s Guides.
