TRAVEL GUIDE: MISSISSIPPI


In the heart of the American deep south, Mississippi combines abundant recreational opportunities, a rich cultural heritage and a warm spirit that characterizes the “hospitality state.” Its location makes for a unique experience, from historical sites, such as antebellum mansions and cannon-lined battle fields, to moss-draped trees, sandy beaches, riverboat gaming and bustling cities.

DINING IN
Olive Branch Catfish Co.

This is the best place around to sample Southern catfish, either blackened or the traditional fried version. Don't miss hushpuppies and cole slaw on the side.

MISSISSIPPI'S BEST BARBECUE
Abe's Bar-B-Q

This laid-back locale sits at the most famous intersection in blues history. Along with great smoked barbecue, their tangy housemade sauce is the reason why people can't stop coming back.
