TIFTON — Visitors can enjoy a celebration of the rich, rural heritage of south Georgia during the annual Folklife Festival on April 6 at the Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College’s Georgia Museum of Agriculture. Showcasing south Georgia’s history and culture, the event runs from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. with interactive activities for both children and adults.
A can’t-miss moment of the day will be the ceremonial firing of the turpentine still at 11 a.m. for the Historic Village’s annual turpentine distillation. Museum guests can get a close view of this age-old process that is central to south Georgia’s cultural heritage. The museum’s Vulcan Steam Engine also will be available for guests to experience a train ride through the historic village.
