Jackson
Jackson was founded in 1821 at the site of a trading post that was situated on a "high handsome bluff" on the west bank of the Pearl River. Legend tells that the trading post was operated by a French-Canadian trader named Louis LeFleur, and the town originally was called LeFleur's Bluff. Jackson now boasts of having more than 400,000 people living in the area.

Our Capitol Building
The Mississippi State Capitol completed in 1903 exemplifies the Beaux Arts Classical style of architecture and serves as a working capitol and seat of governor.

Jackson City Hall
One of the few antebellum structures remaining in Jackson, it was built as a combination city hall and Masonic lodge. The building was used as a hospital during the Civil War.
I love museums and Jackson hosts the Mississippi Museum of Art. Let's take a look.
