A different weekend






Last weekend I have the opportunity to visit Jackson, the capital of the state of Mississippi. In there we saw the Capitolio Building, a beautiful building sorrounded for a small park, we can saw some trees start blooming, a sign to the end of the winter.
The city had several museums and we have the opportunity to visit two of them, The Mississippi Agriculture and Forestry Museum with a great variety of activities, in the Heritage Center antique artifacts display how agricultural tools evolve.






The exhibit of model trains has three differents recreation of railroads from Mississippi, the exhibits was full of senior citizen who enjoy the models.

Adjacent to the Museum you find a representation of an old Mississippi village with the school, the doctor office, the General Store, the blacksmith shop, a little newspaper and many others spots, you should go to the barnyard and meet Joe and Sally, the mules. Is really an amuse and instructive place to know more about Mississippi.

Later, we visit the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science, that shows the natural heritage of the state, mix the display of geological and anthropological examples with living animals to explain the biological diversity of the differents habitats. Around the buildings are paths to enjoy a walking tour seeing the birds.
