America turns 250.
Let's go find the candles.
Looking for a history lesson that doesn't feel like homework? You've found it. At 250history.com, the Semiquincentennial Series brings each state's distinctive landmarks to center stage to tell their fast and fun story.
We've wandered through big cities, tiny towns, muddy trails, and neon-lit highways-uncovering 5,000 historic gems along the way.
The Semiquincentennial isn't just a mouthful-it's a reminder that history is alive, sometimes weird, and always waiting to be rediscovered.
Whether you're traveling by road, by printed page, or by imagination; whether you are a lifelong native or visiting for a week, we invite you to explore 100 Mississippi landmarks that illuminate the one-of-a-kind story of the Magnolia State.
Under-the-Hill... Delta Blues... "white-winged queens"... ghost
towns... "taking the waters"... iron fronts... "literary stalking and
door-stepping"... Chimneyville... Spring Pilgrimage... Old Spanish
Trail... the CCC... "Gibraltar of the Confederacy"... Meskers... Golden
Egg... Rosenwald schools... Biscuit Booth... post office murals... The
Grove... casinos... Starkville Chambray... Natchez Trace... Menagerie
carousels... Frank Lloyd Wright... endurance flying records... Parkitec-
ture... This book will have you telling stories like a native in no time.
The photos and stories collected here are a fast and fun way to learn
the explanations behind the quirks, the traditions and the secrets that
make Mississippi uniquely Mississippi. Why was the Biloxi Light paint-
ed black after the Civil War? Solved. Where is the third oldest railroad
building in the United States? A mystery no more. What is the only
marching band in the NCAA Hall of Champions? Identified. Where
was Coca Cola bottled for the first time? Revealed. Why did the Missis-
sippian culture disappear? No one knows.
It is a story only Mississippi can call its own. A story told in 100 landmarks. Almost all the selections within are open to the public, or at least visible from public spaces. So, fire up the GPS and see the story of the Magnolia State standing in plain sight on Mississippi streets!
