Homestead for the Holidays

Overview

During the excitement of the winter holiday season, the MS Ag Museum will host its Homestead for the Holidays event. Held Thursday & Friday, December 12 & 13, 2024, the Ag Museum will be open from 5:00 pm – 8:00 pm for this joy-filled holiday event.

Enjoy a sampler breakfast for supper, storytime with Mrs. Claus, and get your picture made with Santa and Rudolph! Take a stroll through Small Town and see the demonstrators, visit the Fortenberry-Parkman Farmstead and experience Christmas during the late 1800s.

Carousel, train, and wagon rides will be available as well as hands-on historic crafts and live music throughout the grounds. Make sure to write a letter to Santa on one of our limited edition postcards, printed in the Small Town Print Shop. Stop by the General Store for an old-fashioned glass bottle drink and browse the wares and unique Mississippi made products that make great gifts and stocking stuffers!

We hope you will join us for this wonderful time of community and coming together and enjoy the warmth that an old-fashioned holiday celebration creates! Homestead for the Holidays is sponsored in part by the Mississippi Egg Marketing Board, the Mississippi Beef Council, Cal-Maine Foods Inc., and Visit Jackson.
