The Great Mississippi Tour - visits to ghostly haunts
Do you want to take a tour of Mississippi that includes the scary things to do there such as the "Candlelight Ghost Tour" during Halloween week in Vicksburg or the Ghosts and Legends tour in Columbus? If ghosts aren't your thing how about going to Noxubee and seeing the restored 1907 jail with it's operative gallows? If you want beauty rather than ghosts and scary things then maybe you should visit the Magnolia mansion which was built in 1850 with the antebellum architecture features showcasing the exquisite mahogany staircase and the stunning furnishings of the time. You can visit the mansion in Aberdeen.
You might want to stop in at the Tom Bevill Visitors Center and Museum in Pickensville. This museum show the story of life on the river in this replica of an 1830 - 1860 Greek revival antebellum plantation mansion built on the Tombrigbee 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.
