Parking/Entering Building
The Mississippi State Capitol is located on High Street between President and West streets in downtown Jackson. The building’s address is 400 High Street, Jackson, Mississippi, 39201.  (High Street is at the back of the Capitol; Mississippi Street is at the front of the Capitol.)

Motorcoach and School Buses:  Passengers disembark at Mississippi Street in front of the Capitol and enter under the steps.  (Those with passengers who are physically challenged may make other arrangements with Visitor Services.)
RV’s and over-sized vehicles:  Please park in the lot diagonally across the street from the back of the Capitol at the northeast corner of High and President streets.  May enter the building on the High Street side of the Capitol at the ground level.
Cars, SUVs, regular-sized trucks and vans:  During the Legislative Session (January to March/early April (2025-2027); January to May (2028)), there is no parking available on the grounds or along the perimeter at the street level as all parking on the grounds and on the perimeter are assigned to legislators and staff. Parking is available in the lot diagonally across the street from the back of the Capitol at the northeast corner of High and President streets. When the Capitol is not in Session (usually mid-April through December), visitors may park on the grounds in unmarked/unassigned spaces. If it is not the Legislative Session, spaces are also available on the streets along the perimeter of the grounds.  Please enter the building at the ground level of the Capitol at the north side (High Street) or under the steps at the south side (Mississippi Street).
