TOWN OF TERRY
Town of Terry – A Nice Place to Visit, a Great Place to Live!
The town of Terry is located on Interstate 55 in Hinds County, Mississippi, about 15 miles southwest of the capital city of Jackson. It is in Hinds County
Perhaps one of the most notable efforts of modern times in the reclamation of the Terry Depot. The Depot was built by the Illinois Central Railroad in the early 1880’s and was moved from Terry to Parham Bridges Park in Jackson in the 1950’s. A group called the Friends of Terry was formed whose mission, among others, was the reclamation of the Terry Depot. In the early 1990’s, the Friends of Terry, with the assistance of the Hinds County Board of Supervisors, were successful in bringing the depot building back to Terry. The Friends of Terry have conducted a number of fundraising efforts toward the continued restoration of the depot to its original splendor.
