Start your Mississippi tour with a range of visits to ghostly haunts such as the Ghosts and Legends tour in Columbus or the "Candlelight Ghost Tour during Halloween Week in Vicksburg. This should give you something to think about as you make a change in the direction of your tour to stop over in Noxubee and see the jail that was built in 1907. This three-storied brick structure was built in the Romanesque style of architecture. It was used as a place of incarceration for seventy years before being abandoned. Then it was restored and entered into the National Register of Historic Places and declared a Mississippi Landmark. Then maybe you want to go on to Aberdeen where you can visit the Magnolia mansion which was built in 1850 as a stunning example of antebellum architecture. The mansion showcases an exquisite mahogany staircase and period furnishings for you to enjoy.
Another site you may enjoy while on your Mississippi tour is the Tom Bevill Visitors Center and Museum which is a replica of an 1830 - 1860 Greek revival antebellum plantation mansion built on the Tombrigbee River. This museum is located in Pickensville and would love to have you tour it and learn about the life on the river.
Your Mississippi tour can have some noise, dirt and fun at the Columbus Speedway just 7 miles east of Columbus. The 3/10 mile, high banked, clay oval track will offer you the opportunity to see some great racing and, of course, eat a hot dog or two. What can be better than a little hot dog, noise and dirt all mixed together?
Black History Month in Columbus shows off the African-American Heritage with driving tours from the different locations in town. There is a celebration downtown on the weekend with Friday being a night of music, food and stories on Catfish Alley. The driving tours are held at 9, and 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. On Saturdays the tour is free.
Take a Mississippi tour of the small town of Magnolia and visit the two National Historic Districts this community has to show off. There is the Myrtle Street District which is a reminder of what life was like at the turn of the century and the Southtown Historic District which shows off a variety of late nineteenth century residential homes. You will be able to step back in time as you admire the three Mississippi premier Queen Anne residences and an antebellum Greek revival cottage.
The City of Magnolia can be reached by Interstate 55, north or south, at exit 10, from the east on Highway 48 from Hattiesburg, Ms., and from the west on Highway 24 from Liberty, Ms. - 16651
