JEFFERSON - Available this summer on select dates, the Crawford Long Museum and Shields Ethridge Heritage Farm offer a combined tour day on Thursdays for groups to more closely discover these Jackson County "gems."
Dating back to 1792, the Shields Ethridge Heritage Farm located on Ethridge Road will offer a guided one-and-a-half hour tour (10:00-12:30) to include family stories and viewing historic documents from the family's rich history. Youth groups are welcome to bring sack lunches. Senior citizen groups have the option to include a catered lunch in the tour fee.
