Description
"The MS Ag and Forestry Museum portrays the perfect example of how the agriculture and forestry industries played such an important role in our history and how they have shaped MIssissippi's economy through the years. The Museum serves to educate both youth and adults, alike on not only where our food comes from but it also showcases how the production and the transportation of food and fiber has evolved over time due to the innovation and foresight of our ancestors." - Cindy Hyde-Smith, Commissioner of Agriculture and Commerce
