I decided to look around Jackson County, Mississippi for this week’s Mississippi Mondays post. Found Scranton Museum in Pascagoula: https://web.archive.org/web/20131207165839/http://cityofpascagoula.com/scranton-museum. Check before scheduling a visit and verify hours open. The museum was closed in 2018 due to safety issues. Would be nice to see it re-opened one day. Some of the items were added to the Scranton Nature Center: https://web.archive.org/web/20131207172023/http://cityofpascagoula.com/scranton-nature-center Scranton Nature Center permanently closed.

Shame it’s closed now although several of the last hurricanes that passed through didn’t help matters.

I would love to see it re-opened as they moved some of the stuff to a different location which closed later. The boat is still viewable. It’s behind a chain link fence.
