This is a very nice science museum in Jackson MS. Fossils, live animal displays, and some nature trails. There were a couple of school groups there when I arrived, but after an hour or so they all left and I had the place to myself.

Some photos from a visit.

For those who don't know, I live in a converted campervan and travel around the country, posting photo diaries of places that I visit. I am currently in Mississippi.
