ABAC's Georgia Museum of Agriculture

ABAC's Georgia Museum of Agriculture Explore the farm. Listen to the barnyard sounds. See bacon and ham curing in the smokehouse and preserved vegetables in the canning shed.

Founded in 1976, ABAC’s Georgia Museum of Agriculture preserves and celebrates Georgia’s farming heritage through immersive exhibits, historic demonstrations, and educational experiences for all ages. Experience everyday 19th century-style farm-like activities, from planting and harvesting to cooking, spinning, quilt making, and more. All structures have authentic furnishings of the period. Friend

ly staff members share the history as they perform daily activities - whether in farmhouses, fields, sawmill, turpentine still, school house, blacksmith's shop, or the grist mill. Stroll up Main Street to the Feed and Seed store, the print shop and drug store. Georgia's Museum of Agriculture and Historic Village opened as the Agrirama on July 4th, 1976. Over 35 structures have been relocated to the 95 acre site and faithfully restored and preserved. Costumed interpreters explain and demonstrate the life-style and activities of this time in Georgia's history. The Georgia Museum of Agriculture Vulcan Iron Works Steam Locomotive is the only steam powered train in regular operation in the State of Georgia. The grounds consist of six areas:

Do you ever wonder what happens behind the scenes during our annual August closure? Lots of restoration and maintenance!

Today, we share one such project which took place at the village Doctor's Office. This quaint building started off in 1870 as the office of Daniel Alexander Horn- a planter, farmer, and businessman in Boston, GA. In the late 1800s, Boston's new doctor, H.A. (Henry Adorinam) Vann, began using the building as his office and continued using it through 1925, when he retired. The office was originally one room, to which another room was added sometime before 1902.

In our interpretation of the Doctor's Office, we maintain a beautiful herb and medicinal plant garden. During our August closure, the garden's picket fence was rebuilt by interpreter Chip and blacksmith Greg, with help from our restoration and maintenance specialist, Rod.

Heat? What heat. These guys were determined to give you a fresh fence by the time we reopen and welcome you back to site in September! Interpreters Elizabeth & Gloria can not wait to see you at the Doctor's Office!

We appreciate your patience!

Over the last several months, our gristmill underwent a major restoration to replace the pump that feeds our beloved waterwheel. The work was led by our artifact restoration specialists David and Rod. We are thankful to have been assisted by the crews from Goforth Pump Services, Inc. of Tifton, which outfitted our new and powerful pump, and Jim Boyd Construction of Albany, whose hydro excavation & vacuum trucks prepped a new underwater "bed" for the pump.
Thanks to Miller Grist (her real name!), the best cornmeal and grits in South Georgia will be ready for your orders when we reopen in September!
