The original Museum facility is located in a beautiful rural setting on the 300-acre site of the Henry S. Jacobs Camp in Utica, Mississippi. It is a well-planned structure with exhibit galleries and a central sanctuary that is actively used for programs and services.

This presentation area features numerous objects from disbanded congregations across the region. The 1868 ark, preserved from the now demolished Vicksburg synagogue, serves as the sanctuary’s center piece. This site offers innovative programming to hundreds of Henry S. Jacobs campers each summer as well as groups of all ages throughout the year.

The Museum has a self-guided tour and is open by appointment. Admission is $5.00 for adults, $4.00 for students and groups of fifteen or more.

Please call (601) 362-6357 during our office hours (M-F, 8:30 am-5:00 pm) to schedule a tour or for more information. We do require appointments to tour the museum.
