Lee County Historical Society

Pioneer Park in Loachapoka, AL has many wonderful exhibits and displays. The museum is currently made up of nine structures. It is like stepping back in time and is full of education and history. Syrup Sopping is an annual event held at the park and those that visit can watch how cane syrup was made. The event also hosts entertainment and has arts and crafts for sale. To step back in time and enjoy such rich history brought to life I would recommend this park. Very friendly people.

Wonderful time on a perfect fall day.
Well worth the drive. Would highly recommend.

Interesting as all can be. There is no charge, so make sure you donate. It has to be costly to keep that place up. Oct 7th (23) there will be cane squeezing they expect a lot of people.

It's like going back in time touring the museum. Very educational.

I set up an sale crafts almost every year.I also took my grandkids to the second Saturday events.They use to Love It.

Second Saturday was so much fun

Wow! Went here for the "Soppin'" festival and what a great festival! The festival is to celebrate cane syrup, made from sugar cane. There were a lot of historical semo's mashing the cane to get the juice (and with free tastes!). Also other demos like stripping the corn of the cob.and grinding the meal. There are several retired buildings in luding an 1830 log cabin, Drs office/post office, and a barn with old farming tools and equipment (labelled so you know what they are). Also a museum. There were many arts, crafts and food (beef bricuit was out of this world good!). Also medical students from Auburn cam and provided free blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar measurements. They also have a pretty nice small stage live music was performed. Great festival!

Go back in history. The people are so friendly and full of information. Our kids learned so much, as we did. The gumbo and biscuits plus king cake wonderful. Must stop destination.

We enjoyed visiting the museum during the annual "Pioneer Day" volunteers and staff were patient, knowledgeable and very skilled! I am excited about some of their class offerings!

Great local history, very knowledgeable staff. Friendly too.

Very nice place to go to see and learn a little more history.

Everyone there is so welcoming. The Society usually has at least two classes a month. And that, friends, is how I learned how to do hairpin lace!

Absolutely amazing museum! Pioneer Day is always full of good food, fun, stuff to buy, demonstrations and historical knowledge!

Went for pioneer day. Tons of cool stuff going on. Everyone there was very nice and really cared about the event

I love the displays, demonstrations and sampling! A fun and educational experience that I look forward to every year!!

It was great! Little rainy but wonderful overall. Loved the energy and friendly people 😊

Great yearly venue for making cane syrup. Lots of food and crafts.

Very friendly and helpful people. Going back on May 12, 2018 for the Pow Wow.

Such an interesting place! I can't wait to go back!

Museum is very informative for those of us having interest in this area. Many of us can find information about ancestors.
