Tour Dates:
Number of Days: 1
DAY 1:
Corinth Civil War Interpretive Center: No visit to Corinth would be
complete without seeing the Interpretive Center, a National Park
Service Site. The Center highlights area Civil War history but also
offers a bronze bas-relief and interpretive, sculptured fountain.
Corinth Coca-Cola Museum: The Museum opened in 2007 to celebrate
100 years of Coca-Cola in Corinth, Mississippi. Interpretive
Exhibits and Free Sodas for All Visitors.
Explore Downtown Corinth: Stops to include a glimpse into Waits
Jewelry Store, the oldest business in the State of Mississippi. See
hand-painted murals by the original owner above the antique,
wooden cases. Also on the walking tour is the Corinth Art Gallery,
where local art abounds and can be purchased for a very reasonable
amount. Have lunch at Borroum’s Drug Store & Soda Fountain,
the home of the local culinary delight, the Slugburger. Then visit
quaint shops, which feature antiques, collectibles, personal and
decorative items.
Verandah-Curlee House Museum: Corinth’s only antebellum home
open to the public, the Verandah Curlee House played a significant
role in the planning of the Battle of Shiloh and is tastefully decorated
in 1920s décor. The home also exhibits an extensive collection
of early Audubon Prints.
Crossroads Museum: Located in the 1918 Corinth Depot, the
Crossroads Museum is the hub of area history. View the railroad
crossing that has brought Corinth, MS, into the spotlight for so many
years. Two galleries offer rotating exhibits, which usually feature
traveling exhibits or local art.
While in the area of the Crossroads Museum, a visit to the “Depot
Block” of retailers is a must. C&D Jarnagin is known all over the
country for its reproduction lines for both Revolutionary and Civil
War uniforms and accessories. L&L Emporium specializes in local
folk art.
End the day at one of several restaurants in Downtown
Corinth: Then stroll along the tree-lined streets or enjoy performances
at the Corinth Theatre Arts, Pickin’on the Square, the
Crossroads Arena or the Coliseum Civic Center (depending upon the
date of the visit). [L,D]
