A major player in the civil rights struggle of the 1960s, Jackson is home to a number of fine museums that focus on the conflict and the profound change that followed. The exhibit at the Old Capitol Museum displays photographs and film footage of this tumultuous time, while museums such as the Smith Robertson, housed in the first school for black children from the area, examine the struggles and achievements of African- Americans in art and literature. A stroll around the Farish Street Historical District downtown presents many opportunities to view old houses, churches and other buildings, many of which were built by former slaves. Dont miss contemporary attractions like the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science, the Russell C. Davis Planetarium and the" New Capitol," where the government of Mississippi addresses the issues of the day. The warmth and friendliness of the local people, an array of accommodation choices, and a range of restaurants serving up the best in Southern fare make Jackson feel like a home away from home. « less
