About

Hattiesburg is best known as the home of the University of Southern Mississippi, William Carey University and Camp Shelby, the largest National Guard training base east of the Mississippi River. It has one of the biggest historic districts in the region, with the art-centric downtown lined with many well-preserved buildings. It's also home to coffee shops, bakeries and bistros, while Colludium Brewing Company offers brewery tours. The 41-mile Longleaf Trace Trail is popular for hiking and biking, as it meanders all the way to Prentiss. Paralleling the main trail is a 26-mile equestrian path. History enthusiasts should take the self-guided Freedom Summer Trail driving tour, which includes 15 sites related to the civil rights movement and the Freedom Summer of 1964, aimed to register African American voters in the state. The Mississippi Armed Forces Museum and the African American Military History Museum feature even more of the region's history.
