Troy Alabama Pioneer Days continues Saturday after weather forced the Pioneer Museum of Alabama to move the event from its original dates earlier in October.
The museum and Alabama Tourism event listing confirm the rescheduled event runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Oct. 30 and 31. The museum is at 248 U.S. 231 in Troy.

The $12 event admission differs from the museum’s regular daily rates. The museum’s Pioneer Days page says ordinary discounts do not apply to this special event, so visitors should plan around the event price rather than the standard adult, senior or student schedule.
The two official listings describe working demonstrations spread across the museum grounds. Planned activities include blacksmithing, woodworking, rope making, spinning, weaving, candle dipping and Dutch oven cooking. Living-history interpreters are also scheduled in the general store, one-room schoolhouse and log church.
Families can group the visit by interest instead of trying to follow a fixed stage schedule. Food and household demonstrations center on the cabins and chuckwagon. Craft demonstrations include fiber work, woodwork and metalwork. The museum’s permanent exhibits add farming, transportation, printing and military-history collections.
The site also includes a reconstructed Main Street area, a general store, a schoolhouse and a log church. That layout makes the event more than a single performance: visitors move between working stations and permanent exhibits at their own pace.
Because weather already changed this year’s dates, a final check with the museum is reasonable before a long drive. The official listings do not promise a minute-by-minute demonstration schedule, and individual activities can change.
Troy is in Pike County, and the museum entrance is on U.S. 231 rather than downtown. Visitors who want lunch on site can use the shaded picnic area listed by Alabama Tourism, while outside plans should account for Saturday conditions.
The Daily Quill lists verified regional events on its Culture and Entertainment desk. The useful deadline is Saturday afternoon: gates close at 4 p.m., and the museum switches to its shorter winter operating schedule in November.
