Outdoors Fitch Farms Galena Plantation offers hunting on its 7,000-acre plantation. Several field trials are held there to showcase some of the best bird dogs in the area. Ames Plantation at Grand Junction is where the National Field Trials are held each year to find the best bird dog in the country. English Pointers and Setters that were winners in over 70 field trials throughout the U. S. and Canada, compete for the Top Dog Award, named in honor of Joe Hurdle, a Marshall County native who judged the trials for many years. The event draws hundreds of enthusiasts who ride horses along the course hoping to see a champion making the most bird finds. Cultural
Activities Restoration of several of the city's antebellum homes has brought about daily tours for visitors to experience what life was like in the mansions built when cotton was king. The National Audubon Society's state headquarters is in Holly Springs at the Strawberry Plains Audubon Center, which holds the annual Hummingbird Festival that draws thousands each year to see the tiny birds. The
Kate Freeman Clark Art Gallery houses over a thousand paintings
from the artist who studied under William Meritt Chase. |
