Cross Roads School brings Dixie's local history to life through two dates: Dixie was named in February 1879, and the one-story timber-frame schoolhouse was built in 1928. Agricultural products and a fully guided quail hunt are additional interests to consider during your stay.

Local History and Cross Roads School

The Cross Roads School schoolhouse was built in Dixie in 1928. It is a one-story timber-frame building. The school had two teachers and served students from first through eighth grade. The two years refer to different events: 1879 to the naming, and 1928 to the construction of the schoolhouse. Together with the school type and grade levels, these details provide a specific historical context for both the building and its use as a school.

Farm Products: Herbs and Pork

At Dixie Dreams Farm, herbs and flowers are grown and used to make handmade soaps, culinary herb blends, and herbal teas. A small farm shop sells the farm's products. The plants are thus used in culinary blends and teas as well as in handmade soaps. If you would like to include this specific farm shop in your plans, check current availability before visiting, as it may change.

Thompson Farms sells natural pork at a farm shop in Dixie. A 2024 article describes the production model at that time: free-range pigs grazed on more than 1,000 acres, and their diet was 100 percent vegetarian; it included non-GMO corn and non-GMO soybean meal. For context, it is important to distinguish the two details: the grazing area describes where the pigs graze, while their diet describes what they eat. If you are interested in how the product is made as well as the product itself, these details offer a specific look at the production model described.

A Guided Quail Hunt for Groups

Lucky Five Ranch offers fully guided quail hunts for groups of any size. Both the activity and its format are specific: the hunt is guided and designed as a group offering. If you are interested in a particular date, coordinate the details directly with the ranch. Unlike a farm shop, the focus here is not on buying products, but on a guided hunt.

Choose the Focus of Your Stay

The options can be distinguished by the kind of travel experience you want. The school history offers a cultural and historical focus, the farms combine product sales with agricultural production, and the ranch offers a guided hunt for groups. If you are considering Dixie as a destination, first decide which focus will shape your stay; then you can look for suitable accommodation.
