HEAR THE STORIES OF THE PAST

The stories of Starkville and Oktibbeha County can be found in the rich tapestries woven at each of our local museums, the Starkville Civil Rights Project, and the beauty of the architecture in our historic buildings and districts.

As you experience the heritage tourism opportunities in our town, we hope you will be immersed in the history of blues music, civil rights, antebellum homes and the stories of those who built our community.
