Held in the Falkner MS Heritage Park. Bring the family, walk the rows, and stay for lunch — we will be serving barbecue and hotdogs, with sodas, water, chips and sweets.
This is a fundraiser first. The entry fees, the food and the day’s proceeds go toward building the Falkner Heritage Community Center and Museum Project.
Entries are welcome on the day for a $20 donation. If you are bringing a club, a group of cars, or want to know about setup times, call ahead so we can save you room.

Dates are set year to year and announced first in the Facebook group. Call 662-587-4067 if you would like to be told directly.
The park’s largest gathering of the year and the anchor of the Falkner Heritage calendar. A car show, food vendors, crafts, yard sales, raffles, and educational activities for children — a full day in Old Town Falkner.
Date: announced each year in the Facebook group.
Quilts brought in by families from across Tippah County and hung in the Cooper Hill School House — the sort of exhibit that old room was practically built for. Bring a quilt, or come and look.
Date: announced each year in the Facebook group.
Outside of scheduled events, the Museum and the Cooper Hill School House are opened for group tours and by appointment. Schools, church groups, family reunions and history clubs are all welcome — call 662-587-4067 to arrange a time.
Falkner Heritage is a non-profit organization and receives no revenue from the Town. Funding for the Falkner Heritage Park projects has come entirely from proceeds from supporters and volunteers, local businesses and community efforts, banks, schools and churches, project sales and special events — with continued generous donations making the work possible.
Events are one of those sources. Phase 1 of the Community Center — the foundation and slab — was paid for this way and is complete. Phase 2, framing and roofing, is next.
Funded by donations and event proceeds. Poured and ready.
Estimates are being taken now. Every event between here and there helps pay for it.
The kitchen, restrooms, interior and mechanical work still to be funded.
The Falkner Heritage Facebook group is where dates, weather calls, vendor spots and last-minute changes are posted. It is also where people share old photographs and Falkner memories — worth joining for that alone.
