Ella Sharp Museum

The sweet scent of fresh wood shavings, clop-clopping of horse hooves, warm cornbread muffins melting in your mouth: the Ella Sharp Museum will take you on a carriage ride down Jackson's Memory Lane.

Now known as a "car parts" town, originally Jackson produced over 20 early Automobiles. The Ella Sharp Museum houses the historic collections of Jackson County including several Jackson-made automobiles.

View changing art and local history exhibits. Enjoy a tour of Ella Sharp's 19th century historic home. Savor a bite to eat in the old farm granary, now an award winning restaurant. Spend an hour or a day exploring the museumï¿½s wonderful automotive collections and archives but be sure to call ahead for reservations.
