Tobacco Farm Life Museum

Situated on 4 wooded acres, the museum consists of: the 6,000 square foot main museum building featuring both permanent and rotating exhibits, a theater where an information video is viewed by visitors, and a museum gift shop. The restored turn-of-the-century farmstead and detached kitchen, which was donated and moved from a farm in Micro is interpreted and furnished as the family would have lived during the "Great Depression" era. A 100 year old smokehouse shows how a family's supply of meat was cured and stored. Also on site is a log tobacco barn, moved from Wilson County and reconstructed on the site, a milk house, which was like a detached pantry, a reproduction well, and an authentic outhouse. Situated in the main exhibit hall of theTobacco Farm Life Museum is a new area for children which was built to resemble an old farm house.
