Visit Corinth!
Day 1:
Historic Railroad Crossroads & Crossroads Museum: The Crossroads
Museum is the hub of area history and has an extensive collection of
local Civil War relics. We will also visit the C&D Jarnigan Store, one of
the nation's premier suppliers of reproduction uniforms and accessories
for both the Revolutionary and Civil wars. Verandah/Curlee House: The only antebellum home open to the public, built by one of the founders of Corinth, played a significant role in the area's Civil War history. The orders for the Confederate attack at Shiloh were drafted in the house. Lunch at Borroum's Drug Store: A Confederate veteran opened in 1865 what is now Mississippi's oldest, continuous family-operated drugstore. An old-fashioned soda fountain is a bonus with cherry Cokes and chocolate shakes. While at Borroum's, we may view the Confederate monument on Court Square dedicated to Col. William Rogers, the hero of the Battle of Corinth. Driving Tour of Civil War Corinth: Stops include the Corinth National Cemetery, the Contraband Camp, and the sites of Battery Powell, Generals Headquarters and Battery F. Beauregard Line: One of the most pristine lines of earthworks in the nation. A short hike is required. Corinth Civil War Interpretive Center: No visit to Corinth would be
complete without seeing the Interpretive Center, a National Park Service site. The Center features videos of the Battles of Shiloh and Corinth and an educational water feature. 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)
