Learn about history, heritage and culture of area at Jackson Parish Museum

If you have an appreciation for the history and heritage of Jackson Parish, we warmly invite you to visit the Jackson Parish Museum & Fine Arts Association. Our organization is dedicated to preserving, celebrating, and promoting the artistic and cultural legacy of our community.

Located at 515 South Cooper Avenue in Jonesboro, the museum is open to the public on the first and third Saturday of each month, from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM, or by special appointment upon request.

Inside, you’ll find a wealth of history that highlights the people, places, and events that have shaped our parish. It’s an incredible educational experience for both children and adults, and a meaningful way to connect with our local heritage.

One of the museum’s most impressive exhibits features former two-term Governor Jimmie Davis, a native son of Jackson Parish and an important figure in Louisiana history.

We encourage you to join us in honoring the past while inspiring future generations through the arts. Your visit and support help us continue our mission to enrich the cultural life of Jackson Parish. Bring your family, your students, or just yourself. There’s something inspiring for everyone.

To schedule a special tour outside of regular hours, please contact the museum directly at  (318) 450~5561  or (318) 426-6511.

We look forward to welcoming you and sharing the stories and artistry that make our community truly special.
