Admission to the museums is free during the event.
Join us for a physically-distanced evening of live entertainment and rich conversations inspired by historical topics in the museums. Enjoy music from saxophonist Tiger Rogers and a cash bar. Admission is free. Light refreshments will be available first come, first served. For more information, visit the Museum of Mississippi History Facebook page or email info@mdah.ms.gov.
