Jackson Group Attractions
The Old Capitol Museum houses exhibits that highlight the state’s politics and the city’s history. There is also a very interesting collection of artifacts having to do with Jefferson Davis. This is a self-guided tour which should take your group about an hour and a half. The Mississippi Museum of Natural Science will be a real treat for the animal lovers in your group. There is a 100,000 gallon aquarium here as well as more than 2 miles of beautifully natural walking trails. The prolific Mississippi author Eudora Welty left her home to the state historical society when she died, and it is now a museum well worth seeing, as are the gardens surrounding it. The Farish Street Historical District will be of interest to the history buffs in the group. The buildings and homes here were built by slaves, many of whom have family who still live in the area. Shopping mavens will appreciate the County Line Road area, which is a profusion of shops and outdoor and indoor malls. For boating and other water sports, your group can head to the Ross Barnett Reservoir to take advantage of the acres of water and natural beauty there.
