Jacqueline House African American Museum

Jacqueline House African American Museum

The Jacqueline House African American Museum is Vicksburg's only museum for the exclusive study of history and culture of people of African descent in the Vicksburg-Warren County area.

The collection of over 20,000 items has material in all formats: Photographs, books, manuscripts, music, posters, newspapers and rare ephemera.

Vicksburg was not only the largest black community in the state in the nineteenth century, but was for years the commercial center for the heavily black populated Yazoo-Mississippi Delta.

Its prominence in state and regional history and culture continues today.
