About Jackson
As the capital of Mississippi since 1821, Jackson's turbulent history is well documented. Sherman's troops burned the town three times during the Civil War. In the 1960's, Jackson was a hotbed of activity during the Civil Rights movement. In spite of this turmoil, the city has retained its southern charm and today, delicately blends its antebellum heritage with a modern, forward-looking sensibility. The growing health and technological industries drive the economy, while a respected downtown arts complex makes Jackson culturally sophisticated. Nevertheless, visitors are still drawn to the numerous historical landmarks, such as City Hall (1846), the Governor's Mansion (1842), the Old Capitol Museum, and The Alamo Theater. The Mississippi Museum of Natural Science features a 1,700 square foot "Swamp" and an impressive aquarium. At night, check out some down home blues at several hopping juke joints.
