Mississippi, named after the river that flows along its western border, boasts several attractions that are closely tied to its history and culture. These include the riverfront city of Natchez, once heralded as the wealthiest town in America, and known for its spring and autumn pilgrimages to opulent mansions; and Vicksburg, famous for its Civil War heritage and Military Park; and the Delta Country, which is renowned for its historic music sites and museums, and is regarded as the birthplace of The Blues. Don't miss the state capital in Jackson, the hometown of Elvis Presley in Tupelo, or the GRAMMY Museum in Cleveland. |

Bountiful Seafood and More
|
|
Delectable seafood is a favourite throughout Mississippi, thanks to its prime location on the Gulf of Mexico, providing access to incredibly fresh seafood. Restaurants throughout the state offer both traditional and modern seafood dishes, often influenced by African, European, and Native American heritages. In the Delta region, hot tamales are another popular food centricity to indulge in. These savory treats are the perfect fusion of Southern and Mexican cultures and are even celebrated along Mississippi's Hot Tamale Trail. |
