​Suggestions for travel to Jackson

While each retreat begins on Wednesday, participants often opt to travel to Jackson on Tuesday allowing them to catch their breath after a day of travel. See suggestions below for places you might enjoy staying, eating, and touring.

There are many places to stay Tuesday night but I recommend booking at The Old Capitol Inn. It is a boutique hotel that is not far from the airport and happens to be across the street from The Mississippi Civil Rights Museum. You can stay there Tuesday evening,  have breakfast there Wednesday (included with your room) and walk across the street to spend the morning at the museum. Lunch is available at the museum. Your Wednesday airport shuttle will pick you up in the lobby at 1:30 pm and take you to Eagle Ridge Conference Center in time for to settle into your hotel room and select your sewing table.
​A welcome buffet of food and drinks will be available at the conference center at 2:00 pm.

​The retreat will begin with dinner at 6:00 Wednesday evening.
