Enjoy a sampler breakfast for supper, story time 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 and train 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 fashion 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!
