Families and Communities
The Two Mississippi Museums offers families and communities a place to explore 15,000 years of Mississippi history and experience the power of the Movement that changed the nation.
At the Museum of Mississippi History interactive exhibits and voices from the past will challenge and inspire you and your group to take a closer look at all aspects of our state’s history. Share your own story in our Reflections station before you leave.
Then immerse yourselves in the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum where you can experience the power of the Movement, share stories with generations of family members, and engage in meaningful conversations with church and community groups.
Save the Date for 2025 Fall Camp!
To celebrate the birthday of one of Mississippi’s most powerful truth-tellers and Civil Rights icon Fannie Lou Hamer, campers will explore history through the lens of courage, community, and justice, uncovering the stories of others like Hamer who spoke up and made a difference. Students will create works of art, writing, music, and storytelling that reflect their own experiences and celebrate their unique Mississippi stories.
This session takes place on October 6-10 from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. in the Pete Spiro Classroom at the Two Mississippi Museums. Registration is $50 a week for third through eighth grade students. Space is limited to thirty campers. Register here by September 22. For more information, contact Jasmine Holmes, MDAH education and outreach manager, at 601-576-6773 or at jholmes@mdah.ms.gov.
