There is also a quaint historic village with an agricultural focus. Corn and cotton were ready to reap when we were there.

The fountain is 3-sided, with small concrete benches positioned around it. Wasn't running when we stopped. An additional plaque is located at the entrance to the fountain area. Seems pretty overshadowed by other things going on in conjunction with the Georgia Museum of Agriculture.
