Fall is officially here in JXN, and with it comes that sweet spot of cooler mornings, crunchy leaves, and prime pumpkin energy. The Mississippi Agriculture and Forestry Museum is inviting you to celebrate the season at Pumpkin Adventure 2025, and it’s exactly the kind of small-town charm we live for.
What’s in the Mix
Here’s the rundown:
You’ll start with a hayride around the museum’s grounds. It ends with a snack stop — the kind that somehow always tastes better outdoors. From there, you’re free to roam through Small Town, Mississippi, pop into the General Store, and tour the Heritage Center Gallery. Before you head home, you’ll stop by the Pumpkin Patch to pick out a pie pumpkin of your own.
Planning a family outing? The museum is hosting Pumpkin Adventure Family Days on Saturday, October 11, 18, and 25. Those days run a little longer, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., and are great for folks who want a slower pace or bigger group experience.
