The city of Jackson, MS has plenty of restaurants, cafes and museums but there’s also so much natural beauty! 🌳👌 This park sits right next to the city but it seemed so secluded. We felt like we had it all to ourselves! If we had more time, we’d definitely be camping here 🏕 Are you a camping person? Or do you just stick to day trips? We can go either way! #visitjackson #citywithsoul #followmetojackson #ad visitjacksonms
Are you brunching today? If so- what are you having? Let me know in the comments section below!
One of the best things we've had on our visit has been this insanely delicious homemade biscuit with fried catfish and slow from crazycateatup. I would come back to #VisitJacksonMS again just to have this one more time!

This hole in the wall has been featured by Anthony Bourdain and Andrew Zimmern, which is already saying a lot. It’s known for their smokes and pig ear sandwiches, but it is so much more than a restaurant. The bigappleinn has been around since the late 1930’s and it’s played a major role in the community.
In fact, it once served as an office and meeting point for civil rights groups and freedom writers in the 1960s. I got a chance to speak with the (4th generation) owner, Geno Lee, about his family business, their story, and how they created the most interesting sandwich in America. - swipe right to watch him tell his story!
So happy to share his story and business with y’all in this way! Would you try a pig ear sandwich?

Mississippi was the last state to end prohibition in the 1960s and catheaddistillery was the first distillery to open in the state. You can tour the property and taste samples onsite! .
As you can tell via my IG stories, I’ve really enjoyed the stops I made in Jackson, but I mostly enjoyed the stories behind each destination. It’s the reason I travel - to connect and go deeper. .
.
Tomorrow I’ll be sharing where I stayed, ate, and played in Jackson in a mini guide on my IG and a longer guide on my blog!

We loved being a part of this endless adventure in Jackson! Check out theendlessadventure ‘s trip to Cultivation on YouTube. ・・・
The Cultivation Food Hall in Jackson was sooo classy! In addition to some incredible eats, they had a bar with their own custom cocktails and house made mixers 🍹 🤤 What’s your go to cocktail? For us, it’s usually an Old Fashioned 👌#visitjackson #citywithsoul #followmetojackson visitjacksonms #repost theendlessadventure

Double tap if you have seen The Help”
1st two pictures were brentsdrugs The movie The Help was filmed there! Plus the food was KILLER!
3rd picture we met an actual freedom rider at the mscivilrightsmuseum He was arrested for being in a bus because he was black. Thrown in a federal cell for 5 days with 2 men on death row. He went to prison 108 other times. It was surreal hearing his stories. We were lucky to have met such a modest, humble man.
Can you even handle how cute Lincoln looks drinking his Louisiana root beer thepigandpint If you watched today’s video, he was REALLY into his BBQ and root beer 😆
Thank you VisitJacksonMS for setting everything up so perfectly.

Would you ever stay in a haunted hotel? Let me know yes or no in the comments section below!
Rumor has it that a Civil War soldier named Joseph haunts one of the upstairs rooms of the fairview_inn in Jackson, Mississippi, where I recently stayed.
An investigation into the hotel by one psychic claims she found a ghostly portal on the property. Another guest claimed the ghost of a child could be heard rolling marbles down the stairs at night!
But don't let rumors of hauntings scare you off- I never spotted a ghost during my stay at The Fairview!
