We had free parking across the street for our RV. This is a very beautiful building and we had a personalized tour by Edward. A+

This building structure is very nice and well taken care of, the interior was also very nice with some nice displays of history in the state of Mississippi, the yard outside was too nice with the bell at the front of the entrance, definitely a must visit for people who love to visit state capitols.

We had the opportunity/honor to visit the Mississippi State Capitol in FEB_FY2024 and it was an amazing experience, a great opportunity to learn more about Mississippi's history and legacy under the roof.
We did a plant tour with Mr. Steve and for sure it's a remarkable building.
Definitely, it's a place that deserves my respect. It was a privilege.

Among the more impressive Capitol buildings, with its majestic dome topped with golden statue. The stained glass windows in the back are beautiful, too

Being from Louisville, it's crazy that I just visited this place last week! However, I must say that I'm thoroughly impressed with my home state's capitol! It's undoubtedly beautiful and represents our state well. The tour guide was very informative and gave us some fun facts along our journey. I highly recommend the Mississippi Capitol for field trips. Perhaps you can even contact your representative to sit in on a congressional session!

As a resident of MS and tour guide at State Capitol, I am very proud of how it represents us. It was designed by Theodore Link in 1901.

The photos were taken during the Book Festival so definitely a much larger crowd than normal.

What I like most is the fact that it has 10 different types of marble; foreign and domestic. There are also 4,750 original light fixtures. It’s built on Beaux-Art Style which was popular from 1890-1920.

Visitors who are touring all state capitols have stated that MS has one of the nicest.

There is so much history under one roof and it’s simply beautiful. I highly recommend visiting if in the area or passing through!

I really enjoyed the tour here. We did the self-guided and they had a lot of materials to make the tour interesting. I thought the scavenger hunt was fun. The building is spectacular, a gorgeous example of the beaux arts. They really went in on the exposed bulbs.

Stunning State Capitol in Jackson. The architecture is beautiful, the theater lights in the archways give the building a classy feel. The rotunda is gorgeous. Staff were friendly and helpful, obviously caring about the Capitol and its guests.

My son and I visited the Mississippi State Capitol during a recent road trip and were very impressed with how lovely and well-maintained the building is. The people of Mississippi can be justifiably proud of this magnificent public building. The employees of the Capitol were extremely welcoming and pleasant and were kind enough to answer our questions about the history of the building. The stone work in the building was most impressive and truly beautiful!
