Currently state government offices in the building include: the Board of Cosmetology, the Board of Registration for Foresters, the Charter School Authorizer Board, Office of Capitol Post Conviction Counsel, Offices of Information Technology Services, Office of State Public Defender, Mississippi Department of Mental Health and the Board of Licensed Professional Counselors. During my visit it appeared to be under renovations both inside and out. There are still some historic aspects to the lobby of the building but once you get to the office spaces on the upper floors you can't really tell this was ever a hotel.

The building is very dated and is in need of a bit of renovation- particularly, in the courtrooms. But I guess it is all apart of its charm. It can be a bit confusing in the flow of 'where to go'. I am sure no one wants to be in court and there are possibly a hundreds of emotions that run through a person's mind. I would hope 'confusion as to where to go should not be among them. Suffice to say the guard downstairs has one of the best spirits and infectious joy I have come across in the City. He seems to really enjoy meeting people he comes across during his work hours. He is quick to assist and help guide you where if you ask as well. I guess it is one of the positive things if you ever have to appear at the County's Courthouse...

This pair of mounds are found in Jackson, MS. One, Mound A, is located at a rest area and is…read moreaccessible to the public. There is also an education center there. The other, Mound B, is on private land and is not accessible. Both mounds are on the National Register of Historic Places. The site dates back to 750 and 1600. Mounds of this type were constructed to basically serve one of two purposes, a platform and a burial area. Mound A, is about 22 feet high and 175 feet wide. Mound B, is 10 feet high and 75 feet wide. After the discovery/excavation of the remains of a structure and associated features on top of the mound, as well as numerous artifacts, it was determined that Mound A was more of a platform mound, while mound B was a primarily a burial mound. Both mounds were much larger, but have suffered from erosion over the years. As I mentioned, Mound A is located at a rest area (opened in 2008), both of which are maintained by the Mississippi Department of Transportation. That area is also known as Pocahontas Mounds Roadside Park.The area has security, restrooms, a nice air-conditioned interpretive center that explains a little about the mounds and picnic tables and benches in a patio area behind the bench. There is a nice paved path that leads to a viewing area, but you cannot get close to the mound. The grounds are nice and full of shade trees. I do not think people ae allowed on the green space though and are limited to the patio area and paved paths. Being located at a rest area, parking here is not an issue and is welcomed. There are ample spots available to park and it has easy access. Before my visit here, I had no idea what mounds were. Being a bit of a history buff, I found this site very interesting and learned a lot. The site (Mound A), is very well maintained and nice to visit, even if it is just to take a load off. If you are driving past, it is defiantly worth a stop. I came across this gem on my way to the petrified forest from downtown Jackson.

There's a walking trail that's perfect if you've been traveling for a while and need to stretch your legs. At most, I've only seen 3 - 4 people walking the trail, so it's great for folks who appreciate a bit of privacy. Next door is a decent rest area, so this is a perfect place to stop in my opinion.
