Willow Point

From stunning shorelines and colorful foliage, to its hauntingly historic sites, when it comes to natural beauty, Mississippi is hard to beat.

With more than 2.3 million visitors annually, tourism plays a tremendous role in Mississippi’s economy. And, as the Hospitality State, it’s no secret Mississippians exude charm, generosity and welcoming that has made it deserving of this title. Of course, this state also knows a thing or two about singing the blues. Its Mississippi Delta is the birthplace of this famous guitar picking style of musical genius, spawning the greats like Elvis Presley.

The state’s emphasis on historical preservation has contributed to a plethora of tiny towns and their authentic artifacts. Combine that with the nearly two dozen state parks, hundreds of recreational activities and Mississippi is practically overflowing with unique attractions.
