  It's not a museum you can go in, but to stand there in the driveway is quite feeling. It was sad, but I wanted to honor him by visiting his home.

  I was unfamiliar with the tale of Medgar Evers, but our guide was so informative, I learnt so much. A very heart wrenching site, from a time that has thankfully past.

  This stop was a little off the beaten path but well worth the trip. You have to go through a few dodgy sections but the actual neighborhood is very nice and peaceful.

  My husband and I recently spent a weekend in his hometown of Jackson MS and did a drive by of the Evers home. Beautifully preserved, good signage in the yard giving some history about the Evers family. Wish the museum here had set hours as I would have loved to tour the inside. Visited on MLK weekend 2014.

  After visiting this site, I can honestly say I am glad I was born in 1964 and I have no memories of how awful things were in the history of our country. I remember the lunar landing in 1969 and reruns of JFKs assassination, but not this moment in time. It opened my eyes to a dark time, as far as I'm concerned. I had to spend some time on wikipedia to fill in some of the holes. Overall, it was time well spent and an experience that you should consider. However, do a little reading before hand. i think it would help with the experience.

  We brought a group of young adults from Michigan heading to a Mission Trip. Many of them were familiar with this information from school. But to be able to walk through his home, read the extra information and see pictures was an experience no text book can teach.

  We went to visit the home of this awesome man of history. It was a surreal moment for my husband and myself as we lived through this moment of time. We touched and walked the path he and his family lived. The next time we go we will call ahead to get a guided tour of the home, because we didn't know that it was not open all the time. Just walking around the home and garden gave me goose bumps. This was quite an experience. We became emotional when we walked on the site of his death. We will visit again.

  The phone number that was listed to call for a tour was disconnected. The outside of the house and the yard are well kept. Not sure I will try to visit this site the next time I'm in Jackson. The website is not user friendly. No contact information
