- Description:
- Encyclopedia article about the Georgia Agrirama. The Georgia Agrirama, the state's official museum of agriculture, is a living history museum located in Tifton. The ninety-five-acre site is divided into four distinct areas: a traditional farm community of the 1870s, a progressive farmstead of the 1890s, an industrial complex, and a rural town. There are forty-five restored or reconstructed buildings, including the Victorian-style Tift House, a water-powered gristmill, a one-room school, and assorted farmhouses. Staff members in period costume interpret the history of the wiregrass region of south Georgia by recreating the daily activities of the community in the late nineteenth century.
