Heritage Village
The Ames Plantation’s Heritage Village is home to a wonderful
collection of historic structures spanning the time frame from
the 1830’s until the early 20th century. The
Village consists of the Nineteenth Century Farmstead, the Stencil House,
a replica brick kiln, and a one-room schoolhouse from the early 1900’s.
The Heritage Village serves as an educational
facility where visitors can actually
visualize the lifestyle of their ancestors as exhibited through
the buildings and furnishings. As a destination for school field
trips, students receive details of local history, as well as
steps that everyone can take to help preserve our cultural
heritage. The Village also makes a great venue for the annual
Heritage Festival.
The Heritage Village is currently open for visits by
appointment. If you, or your group, would like to arrange for a
tour of the facility call (901) 878-1067 for details. School
groups are welcome!
