A terrible thing happened here, but fortunately Tougaloo College has turned into an important learning opportunity and a meaningful historical landmark. Glad I was able to see the house and learn about the history. A very moving experience.

Mrs. Minnie Watson is Exceptional! The information given on this tour was informative and riveting! She told Medgar Evers' story to us in great detail.

Frank Norman III

Iconic home, preserved for the world to see. Hope the Jackson P&R appreciate this national treasure homed in Jackson Mississippi. I was greatly impacted by my visit

Lamar Elliott

Erika Myers

Wonderful tour provided by Ms. Watson for our family reunion. She is extremely knowledgeable about the area and life of Mr. Edgar's. We were very appreciative to learn more about this great American who made the ultimate sacrife to help eliminate Jim Crow.

Richard Gilmore

One of the most moving experiences of my life. I have lectured on it now in my courses at the College of Charleston.

Jared Jones

Gripping oral history of Medgar Evers' ultimate fate and his impact on the Civil Rights movement. Currently it's ran by Tugaloo College but the Parks department is taking over shortly which means it will never be the same. I'd go as soon as possible to get the full experience, otherwise, there will be a tour from a federal agency that has been gutted financially in recent years.

Michael McQuaid

Worth the visit

Lora Garrett

A very somber and moving experience, it was the highlight of our trip to Jackson, MS. The home has been so well cared for that it feels like going back in time. It is also a very relevant reminder of the courage that is necessary in the onging fight against racism in the US. Our guide was Ms. Minnie, she did an exceptional job at telling the story and answering questions. It was mentioned several times that the museum is changing hands and may not be open to the public much longer so I would encourage anyone interested in seeing it to go sooner rather than later.

Visiting the Medgar Evers house was a highlight of our Southern civil rights history road trip...thanks to Ms. Minnie Watson, the docent who made the whole visit worthwhile. She knew Medgar Evers personally, she lives in the community, she narrates both the man and his time in history, as well as bringing the story to the present day. Ms. Watson makes this 'historic' site seem very real and very present-day. Of all the houses, plantations, and museums we visited this is by far the smallest--it's a very modest ranch-style home---but the story and the man are as powerful as it gets.It is imperative that you call ahead and book an appointment. This is not-to-be-missed opportunity to hear history and interpretation from someone who lived it.

Great

Raymond Sweet

This is a hidden gem in Jackson. It's small and not too overwhelming like the larger museums. It has a nice timeline wall. They could do better with the room setup. But I loved the place.

Miss Greene

Diane Johnson

I have seen the movie the Medgar Evers story and to go to the very house where he gave his life to support the civil rights movement was very humbling. I highly recommend this as a stop for a better understanding of the civil rights history.

Enjoyed this museum not as interactive as many others but always enjoy the interaction between me and a knowledgeable human over technology spectacles anyday.

Marcus Miller

We were fortunate to be able to arrange a tour when our student group visited Jackson. Ms Minnie Watson did a wonderful job of telling the story of the Evers family and patiently answered many questions. Her story of meeting Medgar Evers and his impact on her life was powerful.

Thomas Graddy

This small but important stop on the Civil Rights trail is surprisingly rich. The docent was absolutely fantastic! She not only shared the story of Medgar Evers, but also that of the civil rights efforts in the area and her own experiences during that tumultuous time. Well worth the visit!

Tanjua Robinson

This was a awesome tour.I recommend that everyone should visit Megar Evers Home.

Vontonia Owens

Presenter Ms. Minnie Watson was great.. very informative

Shequita Townsend

This is the home of famed civil rights leader Medgar Wiley Evers. The Jackson International Airport among a few other things have been named after him. His home where he was assassinated has been turned into a museum. It is a pure time capsule left just as it was when he was murdered and still full of all the families belongings and such. Another great option if you like this kind of thing is to check out the newly opened Civil Rights Museum in downtown Jackson also.

Lakeisha Fantroy

Awwww awesome historical place of information

Juanita Sanchez

Medgar and Myrlie's home is a must visit. I never cried so much just from the energy, the historic significance, or the life you could feel that lived there. If you visit please leave a generous donation. Private donations really keep this home open to educate future generations.

Robert Carlson

A must for all. Ask for Ms Winnie.

Diana Salgado

This experience was an experience I will forever remember very powerful! Especially the tour guide I had.
