Multiple Jackson County, Michigan museums will be open to the public 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, May 10, for Experience Jackson’s 8th Annual Jackson County free Museum Day.
Some locations will host an “open-house style” reception and self-guided tours, while others feature food trucks, child-friendly activities and historic demonstrations.
“Our museums focus on everything from transportation to musical instruments, historical buildings, schoolhouses, log cabins and fine art,” said Rachel Buchanan, VP of Marketing & Communications with Experience Jackson. “On this unique day, we welcome you to dive into the rich history and culture that Jackson County has to offer at these locations.”
