CATCH UP WITH A CITY ON THE MOVE

With our railroad roots and our love of great music, Meridian offers a flourishing arts scene amid what amounts to a museum of gorgeous architecture. Urban lakes and parks soothe the soul with their natural beauty. One-of-a-kind attractions appeal to the kid or the creative in us all. Come see why Garden & Gun magazine calls us “Mississippi’s unofficial seat of culture.”
