Multiple sponsors are making it possible to visit the Museum of Mississippi History and the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum for free during the Mississippi State Fair:
- October 3 – Hitachi Energy Crystal Springs
- October 10 – Nancy and Ray Neilsen
- October 11 – City of Jackson Mayor John Horhn
“We are grateful for the generosity of our sponsors, whose support will allow fairgoers to explore the rich stories of Mississippi during this year’s state fair,” said Michael Morris, director of the Two Mississippi Museums.
These free days coincide with the Great American State Fair initiative, a key part of the America250 commemoration.
Commissioner of Agriculture and Commerce Andy Gipson said the free admission “affords a great opportunity to the public.”
“Our close proximity makes this a perfect combination of education and entertainment, where visitors can learn more about our history and the contributions of our state while enjoying Mississippi agriculture and all that the state fair has to offer. I encourage our fairgoers to attend the Two Mississippi Museums while they are in Jackson,” said Gipson.
The Two Mississippi Museums are open Tuesday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
