Old Capitol Museum 100 State Street, Jackson, MS 39201

"A beautiful building - replete with history - and free admission..! Bathrooms, free public WiFi - make sure you verify the days and hours that it is open before visiting."

"This is a must-visit building if you are in downtown Jackson. The posted hours are Wednesdays through Fridays from 10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. The architecture and history are beautifully displayed on the three floors."

"Wonderful museum. Free entry. We all learned a lot about history that you can't just learn in books. The kids really enjoyed it. Gentleman at the beginning was super helpful in guiding us the right direction and they had a wonderful map. He also informed us that we could tour the new Capitol building as well. Great place!"

"Awesome afternoon of exploring! The museum is free of charge and filled with great exhibits! They also have different ways of experiencing the museum depending on your interest (i.e. architecture, politics, hidden secrets, etc.). They provided a scavenger hunt for our kids, which included prizes for answering all the questions correctly. This experience far exceeded my expectations and I highly recommend it for anyone in the area!"

"Outstanding! Great museum that gives you a detailed and unique yet insightful journey through time. Learn the history of Mississippi and how the wars shaped thought and opinions. Also wonderful art and architecture here."
