Eudora Welty Library in Jackson to be demolished for Crigler Park near history museums.

Jackson's Eudora Welty Library, in disrepair, will be demolished to make way for a green space near two popular history museums. The Mississippi Department of Archives and History board approved the demolition permit for the library, which faced issues with its air conditioning system and storm-damaged roof. The new green space, called Crigler Park, will be located near the Museum of Mississippi History and the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum.
