2024 Young at Heart Event: Gather on The Green
“Heart disease affects millions of people. And now our youngest generation is at risk because of childhood obesity. If we can teach them the importance of making healthy decisions regarding nutrition and exercise, then we will help make a difference in the health of our future generations,"
— Dr. Clay Hays, Jackson Heart Foundation
Museum Trail merch is now available to purchase online! All proceeds go directly towards funding for trail upkeep, maintenance, and expansion.
“Mississippi is thought of as the unhealthiest state in the country. Jackson is right there in the middle. We want to provide an area where people can go out and exercise and enjoy each other's company. Museum Trail promotes healthier activities and brings the community together. It's like one big linear park.”
— Dr. Clay Hays, Jackson Heart Foundation
