Community of Phillipsburg - Tift County

In 1976, the Agrirama was developed in the county by the State Department of Agriculture. Here, at the state's Living History Museum, people can experience daily life on a recreation of a working farm of the 1800s, including cooking, planting and caring for animals.

Tift County is known as the "Plant Capital of the World," with many plants and vegetables grown here being shipped worldwide for replanting.

Tift County is home to a tree said to be the largest Southern Magnolia in Georgia and among the oldest anywhere. It has long been a special meeting place for county residents; in 1991 they formed the Magnolia Tree Foundation to help preserve and protect it for future generations.

Tift has many festivals and special events including the Love Affair Fine Arts Festival, the Folk Life Festival and Fiddler's Jamboree, and the Victorian Christmas.
