Find good old-fashioned Southern hospitality in Mississippi. Take a weekend jaunt to Jackson, the state capital, 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, such as the Old Capitol Museum and Smith Robertson. Stroll around the Farish Street Historical District downtown presenting many opportunities to view old houses, churches and other buildings, many of which were built by former slaves.
Check out 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. Natchez, the oldest settlement on the Mississippi River, has more antebellum houses than any other place in the United States. Tour the homes, the Grand Village of the Natchez and the Natchez Museum of African American History and Culture. For gamblers, the riverboat gaming experience is a fun and fascinating change from ordinary casinos.
