A modest single-storey ranch house in the Elraine subdivision, this is where the NAACP's Mississippi field secretary Medgar Evers lived with his wife Myrlie and their three children. It became a national monument in 2017 and is open by appointment as a small museum.
The interior has been preserved much as it was in 1963 — the children were taught to drop to the floor whenever a car backed up, after threats had made the family a target. Standing in the carport where Evers was killed is an experience that the larger downtown museums cannot replicate.
