You step off the sidewalk at 400 Mississippi St and the city opens like a map—brick facades, painted murals, and banded oaks lining the road. The Pearl River sits a few blocks away, its current seemingly daring you to follow the city’s stories. On the Pretty Mississippi scavenger hunt, Jackson becomes a live puzzle: government buildings, historic markers, public art, and side-street surprises arranged into timed challenges.
