Sorghum Festival and Breakfast

Visitors will have the opportunity to observe sorghum cane being processed into molasses using a mule-powered mill. “Maggie” the mule will be out turning the cast iron rollers to crush the cane juices to then be boiled into molasses. Just to watch “Maggie” work is worth a visit to the site! Come early for breakfast the local volunteers will be milling the cane throughout the morning. A biscuit and gravy breakfast will be available from 8am to 11am. Several drinks and fixin’s will accompany the biscuit breakfast. Here is the chance to to try sorghum molasses on a biscuit!

Kids under 3 are free. There is an extra $2 admission fee for breakfast. As always, members of the Tipton-Haynes Historical Association are free.
