We had the wonderful experience of attending the Virtual Planetarium show by Ella Sharp Museum this past weekend. Boy what an amazing show it was. Austin, was an incredible, knowledgeable and fun host ! We saw our night sky local to our place which was super cool and traveled through the Solar System stopping at each planet to learn soo many amazing fun facts. The show was so informative and interactive. We all thoroughly, absolutely enjoyed it.Thanks a ton to Austin for his patience throughout the show, answering the barrage of questions from the kids and staying so much longer than the scheduled time. Highly recommended show.

This is a very nice small Museum. I really enjoyed the wildlife art area and clock display. The historic buildings are nice too, but tours of the insides are only given at a few specific times.

Ellas Sharp Museum/Park has left a impression on me since I was a child. A wonderful place to step back in time or picnic under a tree. A place that you can see the stars from the Planetarium or watch a game in one of its numerous fields. The landscape in itself is a sight to see. Beautiful Property and maintained well for preservation for years to come.

Its always a great visit to Ella Sharp, a lot of Pokemon Go Hunting, I sat and watched My Niece and Granddaughter, play safely and social Distancing for about 20-30 minutes before continuing on.

Great place for a wedding. Good staff fantastic location.

This place has some amazing facts...check it out

Absolutely beautiful place to walk, and just in general get out! Definitely a jewel in Jackson MI

I had my wedding reception at the Granary. The staff were fantastic, the museum was open to my guests which they loved, and they made sure our space was very well taken care of. Chelsea Melin was absolutely amazing and accommodated everything I needed for the day. They were even able to bring in my husbands favorite beer which he thoroughly enjoyed. Hands down the absolute best place to host an event. Thank you for everything.

Great family place. Interesting. Daughter and grandkids were able to see their family log cabin that was on their family farm. It was their great/great great grandparents

Saw a wedding- wonderful

A great place and full of history. Took my son here when he was little and had a great time

Very cool place with a lot of art and history of the Jackson area. They have very well kept old buildings with a Blacksmith shop and a one room school house. Also they have a venue that you can rent out for baby showers, birthdays, work parties, etc. This includes the use of their kitchen and bar set up with multiple taps. Very cool space that i would use again. The staff was very helpful and informative of everything going on this summer.

I was fortunate to attend and photograph a wedding here this past weekend. The Staff of Ella Sharp, including Chelsea (Rental Coordinator) and front desk were simply flawless to work with and incredibly caring and professional. The décor and room were lovely and offered ample enough space for photography. I can only imagine the Museum proper is as top notch as the banquet facilities.

Lots of room to go for long walks.

This is a small, well cared for museum with a lot of info packed inside. They have tons of local historic pieces including the table where the Republican party was [supposedly] founded. A few other towns around the US also claim rights to that so Im not sure who to believe. Some of the pieces are from churches and other historic buildings or factories. My parents even remember some of it from when they were kids growing up in Jackson. They also host special traveling exhibits so check their website to see whats happening!

This Museum/Park is a wonderful place for everyone. The Museum has interesting art displays that change several times per year. They also have classes for kids and adults. There is also a really nice gift shop to explore. The outside grounds are beautiful and in summer are great for hiking, soccer, baseball, cross country races and lots more. You can go into the old farmhouse for a nominal fee and walk around the historic buildings. you can go into the granary restaurant or explore the inside museum. has alot of Jackson history stuff. place for kids to explore. also has a planetarium to go in. great place to go in the fall..they have a nice fall festival for the kids.

Art, Beer and Wine Festival is my highlight of the Summer Season. I also volunteer. Wonderful weather, good food, the museum was nice. Great fundraiser.

Nice little place. Loved the disassembled item display. Good resource for this town. Admission fee was reasonable.

Great place to enjoy nature

Attended a wedding here. It was very nice that they kept the museum open during the entire event.

Very nice, very stroller friendly. Indoor and outdoor seating was great.

Was there for a graduation party, didnt really get a chance to wander through the whole place but what I saw looked pretty interesting. Id like to go back and check it out sometime

Had a wonderful time very nice venue neat and clean friendly people

This place is a very small museum but so much is packed into it...it was truly amazing...seen stuff Ive never seen before and I can honestly say my family and I will be coming back for sure

Had a wedding here and was very impressed with the grounds and displays.

Had a great experience at the planetarium with the family.

The park is we kept up with and beautiful. I love walking in the woods without driving to the country.

Interesting place.

It was a pretty nice place, the grass was really good and plenty of shade if it got hot

Fun local museum with new stuff to see every couple months or so, I loved the video game art and clocks

Beautiful grounds, plenty of trails and activities. Beautiful museum.

This is one of the best old fashioned quality, challenging and scenic beauty mini putt putt courses that ive ever played on. And to make things better they play classic rock music.

Love this museum! Its right inside a beautiful park with a nice pavillion

Went to Wine & Beer Festival. .Had a Amazing Birthday with My Daughter Taylor and Sean.. Best Birthday Ever ️️️️️️

The gallery is lovely and I enjoy that they change it up but provide it for free.

Great place to take the kids

To be honest my name is ella sharp and I was trying 2 show my friends but I went there when i was 6 and I loved it

I love all of the information that they have for all of the artifacts.

Such a fun place! Full of great history. Wonderful family outing

A lot of history about Jackson. Very interesting. The art gallery is wonderful.

Its like a mini Henry Ford museum. Ella Sharp has many interesting places for a photographer to photograph and background for portraiture.

Love this place wish they would add on and get bigger for events.

Fun place to go with kids.

Great place for the family to learn new things about the areas history as well as a great place to find events for the family throughout the year

This place is right up my alley. Loved it!

Awesome place to learn the History of Jackson and no matter how much you think you know about Jackson everybody that goes here will learn something new about it!!!:-)

Went to art beer wine fest recently. Fun as always. The grounds were kept up and was clean indoors as well

Nice museum, I especially liked the exhibits of the local items that had been made in the Jackson are.

A gem in Jackson Michigan. Art & history in a beautiful museum in the Ella Sharp Park.

A Jackson gem worth a visit whether you are visiting or a long time community resident!

We learned there about the past and it was fun.

Art, Beer and Wine fest is such a great event. We love this location and the events throughout the year.

Fun place to exsplore

Beautiful little venue for a wedding

A beautiful museum and park. Impressive. A family environment

Had a company lunch catered at the Granary. Nice facility.

It had alot of cool stuff

Nice place to take the family.

Great museum of local history as well as local/ regional/national artists

Great place!

I was here for a.weddimg and had never heard of this museum. If your in the area it is worth checking out. The wood carved birds were so life like. The art and history is worth the stop.

Intimate setting, interesting exhibitions that change routinely. Very nice facility.

They have a great collection of stuff.

Beautiful museum. Not very large but always curated very well. Popular venue for receptions. Lots of local history in the exhibits which is very cool.

Nice venue for gatherings, happy or sad occasions. Staff was also very helpful.

Great people, wonderful place inside and out.

I havent been to this museum since I was a child. I was expecting it to be much smaller than it was.The staff was kind and informative and eager to help with any questions and directions asked,I will be returning and following their events on facebook as well as their website.There is a vast difference in seeing a photo of a painting or other form of work verses seeing it in person. Everyone should go at least once a year if not more! Especially with Changing exhibits.

Civil War Muster

The buildings are well kept. The staff are knowledgeable.

The museum is a real asset for the Jackson community. Our children also enjoy participating in various classes offered by Ella Sharp Museum.

Love the events and the history!

Great place for a wedding.

Great place for events. Great beer, wine, and art festival.

Awesome planetarium

Wonderful venue for my daughters wedding reception. Highly recommend Ella Sharp Museum!

The website is outdated, and no one can ever tell me about the class schedule. This is one of our local musuems, and the only place to take art classes in the town. (The is a community college 8 miles out of town that has some art classes.) However, the staff at the museum seems totally unaware of exactly what classes are offered or when they start. I stopped 3 times last year to find out about classes, and no one could tell me. I left my name & number, but never heard anything. I stopped again in Sept. and was told there would be fall classes but the person at the window did not know exactly when the schedule would be published. Then I went on line on early Oct. and found only a Summer Classes Registration form and list of classes. I called, and a man told me they did have fall classes, but I would need to come out find out more. So, my question is: why is this musuem so unconcerned about letting the public know when these classes are held, and how to get into one? Or are these classes really just for a few members, and not really for the public?

Wonder collection. Great events

Great local history museum, lots of local art on display.

Rotating exhibits keep you coming back again and again. A special tour of Ellas farm house is definitely worth the extra cost.

Murder mystery night, great crowd, big fun!

Nice. Could have more

Nice variety of local history displays.

This a great museum for local history and art presentation. The space is aesthetically pleasing and their collection is rare.

Nice little museum with a pretty banquet hall good for receptions and much more

New exhibits and fun family activities.

Very interesting and informational

A community gem! The Art, Beer & Wine fest is possibly the best annual event in Jackson!

Loved this experience and the tour guide was amazing!

Had a great day at the Ella Sharp planetarium and the museum and the great food. Thanks American 1 for the day.
