Want to see the best of Mississippi history? Add these four destinations’ historic sites to your Mississippi road trip itinerary.
Clarksdale
The Home of Blues, aka Clarksdale, was founded in 1848 and is now your spot to learn not just about the history of blues, but also the history of the Delta region. Stop into two museums during your road trip: Delta Blues Museum and North Delta Museum.
Natchez
Natchez is the oldest continuous European settlement on the Mississippi River. Before the Europeans arrived in the 1700s, though, the Natchez indigenous peoples called the region home. Now, the city shows off its indigenous, African, French, British and Spanish heritage with pride.
Oxford
Oxford has become known as a destination for college football thanks to the University of Mississippi, but it also boasts a lot of literary history. The most famous historical literary site is likely Rowan Oak, William Faulkner’s home, but you can also plan an entire Oxford literary itinerary to see even more.
Tupelo
Lastly, Tupelo gets recognition for its role in the Civil War, as well as for being the birthplace of Elvis Presley. To learn more about both, visit Tupelo National Battlefield site and take Elvis’s Tupelo Driving Tour.
