Mississippi is one of many southern states, like nearby Alabama and Louisiana, that enjoys a long and rich history that typifies the American South. Throughout the years, it was home to major events, including the Civil War, the construction of major railroad hubs, and the growth of the Civil Rights movement. Many of the towns throughout the state reflect that history in their museums and historic buildings that populate them. That rich history makes these towns more vibrant places to visit, especially thanks to the shops and stores that have emerged in the many historic downtowns that comprise the state. If you are looking for some of the best downtowns in the state to visit, visit any of these seven towns.
