It contains portraits and sculptures of famous bird dogs and traces their participation in hunting, field trials, and other sporting events. It also teaches visitors about the long history of the National Field Trials Championship for Bird Dogs, which was first held in Mississippi in 1896. It then moved to Tennessee, eventually settling on Ames Plantation as its permanent venue in 1915.
