Recently, our Brer Rabbit sign in front of the museum was showing some age and broke. The Board of Directors for the Uncle Remus Museum are pleased that a new sign could be completed so quickly by Mr. Fred Fielder of Oconee Custom Signs, Inc. His business is located at 819 Harmony Rd., Suite 800, Eatonton.
Our new Brer Rabbit is lookin’ mighty fine and made it here just in time to welcome everyone to Eatonton to the Dairy Festival.
The museum will have a delayed opening time on June 6th due to the parade. The doors will open 1 pm - 5 pm. Come see us.
Miss Georgia will be telling Uncle Remus stories on the square at 12:15 pm.

Come enjoy the Dairy Festival in Downtown Eatonton on Saturday, June 6th. Come early and enjoy walking through the vendors selling some unique items on the square, then find a good spot to watch the 10 am parade. Following the parade, free ice cream will be handed out right next to one of our county dairy cows on display in the portable milk barn.
Miss Georgia will be sharing some Uncle Remus tales on the courthouse stage at 12:15 pm.
The museum will be closed on Saturday morning for the festivities but will reopen at 1 pm. Come check out all the new merchandise including our first Uncle Remus museum ornament. There are just a few of the Putnam County courthouse ornaments still available.
See you there!
