Ella Sharp Museum, Michigan, United States
4.5 (57 reviews) Tuesday: Spent Ranking #5 in Jackson Speciality Museums
A terrific museum with a local history focus and emphasis on the arts
We drove from an hour away to see the Frida Kahlo's Garden exhibit, which we found compelling and well done; we loved the tie-in with school kids and their take on Friday Kahlo! Stayed for the very interesting Jackson county and city history galleries. Enjoyed the Never Enough Time exhibit of clocks of all shapes and sizes, as well as the Barns: Preserving Architectural Heritage exhibit and the Gallery of Wildlife Art. We loved the variety and scope of the temporary exhibits. We'll keep an eye on new exhibit announcements and look forward to a return visit. Kudos to the museum on a job well-done of keeping guests safe during these COVID times, with taking guest contact info, requiring masks, limiting the number of guests in a gallery, and lots of signs reminding us to social distance. Thank you!

Rich in history and culture
Built in 1829, the same year that Jackson was founded, the original house and site of the Merriman farm. This is also the site of the Peter Hurst Planetarium.

A nice attraction
Enjoyed the museum displays and art. Not a large facility, but high quality. Particularly enjoyed Lego sculptures. Inexpensive, enjoyable way to spend a couple hours.
