Folklife Festival

Visitors can enjoy a celebration of the rich, rural heritage of South Georgia during the annual Folklife Festival on April 6 at the Georgia Museum of Agriculture and Historic Village at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College. 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.

The Vulcan Steam train’s whistle welcomes visitors for a ride to the Historic Village and Festival. 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 will see up close and personal this age-old process that is central to South Georgia’s cultural heritage. The still will be running throughout the day and discharging closer to 4 p.m.
