Spending the Day in Water Valley (Mississippi Travel Series)

Coahoma, Lafayette, Calhoun, Marshall… Yalobusha?

What kind of name is that?

Yalobusha is the name of the county where the town of Water Valley, Mississippi, is found.

With less than 5,000 people, this quaint little gem shines brightly as an up-and-coming arts mecca in the hills of the Deep South.

A once-bustling railroad community, the tracks still run proudly through the town as a reminder of what once was.

One of two county seats, there is plenty to see in this small spot on the map. Shops like Turnage Drugs have been here for years and still looks largely the same as it did when it opened, soda fountain and all.

A plethora of antique stores have filled in the buildings that once held restaurants and dry goods.

And beautiful homes are steadily being renovated and sold to young families and singles who are looking for an affordable, safe, and fun place to live and work.

A sight-seeing soul can find plenty for the eyes to feast on in this precious place! Visit today!
