Smith Robertson Museum’s Critical Repair Needs | Jackson News

The Smith Robertson Museum in Jackson, Mississippi, a historic beacon of Black American history since 1894, is crumbling under leaks, broken HVAC systems, and mold—forcing the gift shop to relocate and exhibits to be covered in tarps. Once home to Civil Rights icons and Smithsonian shows, the museum can’t host major exhibits without repairs. Funded upgrades aim to restore the building before 2027, preserving its legacy from slavery to activism—and ensuring future generations can walk through its halls with dignity.
