The combined Georgia JugFest and Old Knoxville Days festivals celebrate the Middle Georgia folk pottery tradition.
Crawford County was a major pottery center in the 1800s and into the 1930s. “Jug makers” from the Long, Merritt, Becham, Averett, Yaughn, Marshall, Bryant, Pyles, and other families shipped their churns, storage jars, jugs, bowls, pitchers, chicken waterers and ant traps all over the Southeast. The county’s clay is still prized today by folk and studio potters.
The Crawford County’s Historical Society’s festival proceeds will be used for development of the Old Courthouse Cultural Center which will include the Middle Georgia Folk Pottery Museum.
Proceeds from Chamber of Commerce activities are used for community and economic development. The Chamber is partially funded through the Development Authority of Crawford County.
Please join us in thanking the sponsors who make the festival possible:
