Step back into the lives of the 19th century southern farmers as you visit historic log structures assembled to reflect rural life. Burritt’s Historic Park interprets the past by showcasing aspects of farm life from the 19th century. Living history interpreters, dressed in period clothing, recreate the diversity of farm life allowing you to become involved through lively conversation, demonstration, and hands-on activities.

Stroll through the park and enjoy the sights and sounds of the barnyard. Listen carefully and you may hear the fiddler on the front porch. Meticulously restored historic buildings, authentic 19th Century crops, and living history interpreters demonstrating common lifeways of the past will add to your educational visit. Please ask lots of questions. Our interpreters are always pleased to share their knowledge with you.
