Touch a Truck

Downtown Laurel

Touch a Truck provides a unique opportunity for children to explore vehicles of all types - public service, emergency, utility, construction, transportation, delivery, and "cool" trucks - in one place. Personnel will teach the children about the equipment displayed and how these machines help us and serve the Laurel area.

The City of Laurel, established as a lumber town in 1882, is conveniently situated approximately two hours from larger destination cities such as Jackson, Biloxi, New Orleans, and Mobile. In recent years, the city has become a destination all its own thanks, in part, to its starring role in HGTV’s popular “Hometown” series. As Laurel, and interest in it, continues to grow, we are committed to providing the resources necessary to help all of our residents and businesses reach their full potential.
