- FoodangeManchester, UK4,433 contributionsWe had a personal tour from Nin, a new ranger, very knowledgeable.
We found it a really moving experience.
A regular house in a suburban street, yet an important place in the history of the fight for Civil Rights.Written November 5, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - kathrynharresColumbia, IL39 contributionsEudora Welty has always been my favorite short story writer, so I was thrilled to finally visit her house and garden. The staff was warm and knowledgeable, even recommending a beautiful place to stay for the night, The Orchid B&B. It was obvious that the young docent loved Eudora as much as I do which added to the experience as we went through the house. What a treasure it is, still as it was when Ms. Welty lived there. I almost expected her to come around the corner and ask us to join her for a glass of bourbon. I will return and recommend it to fans of Eudora and fans of American Southern Fiction.Written March 15, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Zero M SnapshotBrandon, MS17 contributionsSome things in need of repair, lubrication or adjustment: log crane, milk cow, car track timer, etc., but not a huge deal. Kids wanted to go back next day. Restrooms very clean.Written December 30, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Doron ZTel Aviv, Israel260 contributionsThe visit is of the old capitol, with some details on the history and the political method in Mississippi. 30 minutes should be sufficient to finish the tour.Written November 1, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - FoodangeManchester, UK4,433 contributionsWe loved this museum, which was brilliantly curated.
Took us though the history of the state, with four very informative films at different stages.
Amazed that both BB King and Elvis hardly mentioned in the musicians part. There was more about Ike Turner ...
Loads of seating to sit and watch and contemplate.

However, for my $5 I got a nice quiet visit during peak azalea season. It could really be a show-stopper if well cared for.
