Old Capitol Museum

The Old Capitol Museum is the actual spot of the states first official state house. Now turned into a museum it is filled with history and information on the past of the building and how state politics works. It is free to all citizens of the state. It charges a nominal fee to non residents. Not sure how much haven't been in a while. If its still the same it was not much i think around $7.00 or less.

Very good renovation of the Old Capitol as it was originally. The first floor exhibits and videos are comprehensive and informative, the rooms are laid out in their original purpose-Senate, Supreme Court, Library etc and there is a Hall of Fame room with portraits of famous Mississippians. Definitely worth a visit.

I have never stayed here. I was driving by and I understand it was an old YMCA that was converted to a guest 🏠. I know nothing about the place. I looked via Google at some photos. It was not impressive to me.

Yes, I know it serves as a very important marker for MS history. I just find it very boring, and does not contain nearly as much as the two new museums. The Old Capitol tries to explain MS history and its own history, but it really should just focus on its own history. Especially, because they have the new Museum. Otherwise I would go check it out if you were visiting.

Very interesting learning the history behind the old Capitol. You don't see attention to architectural detail like this in new buildings.
