WHAT: The Mississippi Department of Archives and History (MDAH) and the Community Foundation for Mississippi will announce a major development in the Margaret Ann Crigler Park Project.
In 2024, MDAH acquired the Eudora Welty Library property with plans to replace the building with a new public park and green space. The plans for this project align with the original layout for Jackson from 1822, which included public green spaces on alternating blocks. Only two parks remain from the original layout: the Old Capitol Green and Smith Park.
WHEN: Tuesday, March 18, at 9:30 a.m.
WHERE: William F. Winter Archives and History Building 3rd floor balcony
200 North St.
Jackson, Mississippi
