ATTENTION: If you are a reenactor who is planning to attend the upcoming event here at the Site, if you are here Friday, October 31st, at 3pm, the Kitchen Museum in Fitzgerald invites you to a free tour of the Museum. The Kitchen Museum is an amazing place with the most incredible tour guide/owner, Ms. Sue. The Kitchen Museum is nothing like you are thinking it is, full of history and an incredible story behind each artifact. Please reach out to the Manager of Jefferson Davis Historic Site so he can get a roundabout count of how many so we can prepare, thanks.
