Jackson’s museums are as diverse as its history, from antique organ museums to the Whitetail Hall of Fame Museum’s 50 record buck racks on display. Explore hands-on science exhibits and animals at Imagine Planet. Gaze up at the cosmos under Hurst Planetarium’s 30-foot dome or gaze down at Ye Ole Carriage Shop Auto Museum’s seriously sleek display of 60-plus classic cars. Musicians and music lovers will appreciate Conklin Reed Organ & History Museum, where over 100 fully restored antique organs are on display — some dating back over 150 years. One of Jackson’s newest additions in Jackson is Michigan’s Military Heritage Museum, which focuses heavily on the involvement of Michigan in the U.S Military, but they also have artifacts from all over the world, and from many different time periods.. Then, stop over to the Lost Railway Museum, where they document the history of Jackson’s trains and railways, which once featured one of the busiest stops in the state! They also have a virtual train ride called the Boland Express, that puts you in a restored antique railway car on an animated tour through local transportation history. From there, you can make your way to the Cambridge Junction Historic State Park and Walker Tavern, a major stopping place for stagecoaches traveling between Detroitand Chicago in the early nineteenth century.
