Bordered by Arkansas, Tennessee and Alabama, Northern
Mississippi is known for its historic sites, landmarks and natural attractions. Examples of African and Native American culture display a legacy of enduring spirit in the state's long civil rights battle. Battlegrounds remain scattered between lavish antebellum homes, and visitors can see the humble birthplace of Elvis Presley and William Faulkner's former private residence. Visitors can also try their luck at the bright casino resorts in Tunica or enjoy the area's powerful natural beauty.
