Mississippi Holidays

Mississippi is a southern U.S. state with the Mississippi River to its west, the state of Alabama to its east, and the Gulf of Mexico to the south. Its Mississippi Delta region is considered the birthplace of blues music, honoured at the Delta Blues Museum in Clarksdale. Also, in the region is the Vicksburg National Military Park, preserving the site of a critical Civil War battle. Today, Mississippi is regarded as a unique and rich intersection of history, architecture, commerce, culture, and the arts.

The historic city of Natchez, on a bluff overlooking the Mississippi River, is famed for its antebellum mansions–turned-museums. Biloxi, on the coast, offers casino resorts as well as the Jefferson Davis Home and Presidential Library at the Beauvoir estate. In the north-eastern city of Tupelo, the 15-acre Elvis Presley Birthplace site is a Mississippi historic landmark. The 1839 Old Capitol building in Jackson, the state capital, is now a museum with multimedia exhibits, while the city's Eudora Welty House memorializes the Pulitzer Prize–winning author. William Faulkner’s 1840s Greek Revival home, Rowan Oak, is in the city of Oxford.
