Mississippi Profile
Known as “the hospitality state”, the people of Mississippi make visitors to their state feel right at home with their own version of southern charm, comfort food, and a unique culture and history that they’re happy to share. The state’s many museums, historical homes, arts, crafts, landmarks, and Civil War monuments and battlefields are testaments to the pride that’s taken in preserving their heritage and teaching others about the events that made the state what it is today. The Old Capitol Museum, the Jimmie Rodgers Museum, the Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame and Museum, the Vicksburg Battlefield Museum, and Delta Blues Museum are all great sites to see while visiting. And speaking of Blues, Mississippi is home to the original crossroads of Highways 49 and 61 in Clarksdale, where bluesman Robert Johnson sold his soul to acquire his gift of music. Other points of interest include Longwood, the largest octagonal house in North America; Rowan Oak, the Oxford home of writer William Faulkner; Beauvoir, the Biloxi home of Confederate president Jefferson Davis; and the birthplace of Elvis Presley, Tupelo. And of course, there’s the famed Mississippi River. The miles of coastline along the Mighty Mississippi offer visitors a chance to take romantic strolls along its banks or take them back to times long gone and the adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. The river itself also holds plenty in store, from rafting to booking a tour or dinner on a paddlewheel steamboat. And for nightlife, the capital city of Jackson can always provide plenty of dining and late night entertainment.Current Temperature:
