OUR HISTORY
IS OFF THE RAILS.
In 1854, Corinth, Mississippi, was called the “Crossroads of the South” during the Civil War because of its strategic railroad importance–two rail lines intersected at city center, making the town one of the most heavily contested transportation hubs fought over by both Union and Confederate armies.
Today the Crossroads Museum and Historic Corinth Depot sit only a few feet from the original railroad tracks that remain busy with frequent freight-train traffic.
