In a Jackson guide of things to do in the Mississippi city, the nightlife of the city takes center stage. Live music abounds, with an emphasis on jazz and blues, in some of the city's best clubs. No guide to Jackson can contain only nighttime activities, so for daytime residents, there are several museums that celebrate the history of the state while providing family-friendly activities. The jazz and blues music scene the city is so known for dominates the nightlife. Two clubs in particular top the list of things to do in Jackson: Underground 119 and Frank Jones Corner. Underground 119 is a basement club located in the downtown area. A limited but delicious tapas menu provides an accompaniment to the live music. The music is a mix of southern jazz and blues, with a dressy atmosphere that enhances the experience. Frank Jones Corner is much more of a restaurant than 119, serving a barbeque lunch menu on weekdays while providing a hot jazz and blues location from Thursday to Saturday. The lunches are one of those tasty Jackson deals found in eateries around town, but the real treat is the late-night jazz and blues sessions in the club, with live music on weekends lasting until almost dawn. There are also plenty of things to do when the sun is up. The Mississippi Children's Museum is perfect for younger family members. The exhibits vary widely, from an exploration of Mississippi heritage to a World at Work exhibit that explores different careers. For an experience that may appeal more to adults, a visit to the Old Capital Museum could be in order. The museum is an old state legislature building constructed in 1840, and it contains a number of exhibits covering the history of the area. Several interactive exhibits are available for children. Overall, this city provides plenty of great entries for a Jackson guide.
